Visual C++ tutorials? - PSP Hacks

Furypaw · #1 04-08-2009, 03:51 AM

I'd like to start using visual c++ express, but I just don't get it. I know how to make a GUI and all, but as for making stuff happen, I just can't do it. Does anyone know any good tutorials/samples? I'd like to try using it at school tomorrow. Thanks

Last month I started learning it as well (VC++ .NET). For .net take a look here:
http://www.functionx.com/vcnet/Lesson01.htm (lesson one

)

Index:
http://www.functionx.com/vcnet/

Every lesson consists of a lot of text so the first times you code something it might be difficult to understand as you will also need to do some research about the System namespace and classes like System::String, System::Environment. From that site I've just learned the basic but as I learned VB .NET some years ago I knew how to create buttons and to do something when they are clicked so I quickly started to search things at Google instead of looking at that site (which is outdated in my opinion). If you want I can PM you a calculator I made when I first started working with Visual C++ .NET (the executable requires the .NET framework 3.5 although the source code can be compiled with the .NET Framework 2.0)

this is why I like Java. Everything you need for GUIs is part of the language, and it's fairly simple.

also, .NET ftl.

Not everything that's part of .NET sucks, it makes things quite simple which is a +

Yes but bloating an application with runtime requirement files isn't exactly a plus.

Who wants to add 10mb to the size of their file because they used a single .NET based API =/

Java just overall is a fail language. For one, there is no good system default GUI library (so if i run it on windows, it looks like windows, and if i run it in linux it uses my GTK theme), and for two the language has become immensely bloated over the years.

The only thing java is good for is beginners.
