Thread: Those darn API's

I have finally found out what is the hardest part of C++ (or any coding language) is isn't the language or the methods and "tricks" but those darn API's.
The problem is that since I havn't made the predefined classes myself I don't fully understand them if they are complex (some functions can be).
If you get a tutorial about WIN32 on the net you got a pick up the analogi of the API which can be hard.
In SDL it's the same deal.

Well, I have by now learnt both API's but I got a say that this has been the hardest part yet since it aint as logic as C++ itself.

Sadly I found out that I could have spared the time on WIN32 since there aint no need for it with SDL which has WIN32 as a part of it.

>>> since it aint as logic as C++ itself

Any language, to acheive a useful end, will one day have to interact with the system it's modules are running on. API's are inevitable.

WIN32 is not that bad, it is my preferred environment.

>In SDL it's the same deal.

you think SDL is a hard API to learn? i found it easy....just wait until you get to DirectX and OpenGL....then you will be having some fun

The Java API's are much easier to use and find. Just go to Sun's java website.
