a new tutorial for c/c++

hey guys,

I have designed a website to help new comers understanding the C/C++ programming language in depth. well, the tutorials are being added daily and will be available for you completely very soon.

check this out and tell me what you think.

You might want to concentrate on adding more content before going on your advertising spree.

There are fatal flaws in the tutorials, as well, as noted in a post of mine.

Code:

 //my first program in c++
	   
	      #include <stdio.h>	      
		  
               int main()
	       {
		 printf("hello world!")
		 return 0;
	       }

Eh? C++? Also, can you spot an error in it?

After 2 minutes of reading I noticed: some weird inconsistent indentation, some gramatical errors, unrecognised/unurlendcoded characters, and a very annoying flashing ad banner.

Apart from that I like the look of the layout. Nice an clean in general.

Not to mention the very annoying adverts!

I did notice that as well, and the tutorial seems to assume you are using a MS-DOS based compiler. That cannot be good.
Further, it actually discourages the use of an IDE because it seems "important" to learn how the "system" works by manually invoking the compiler and linker and writing code in Notepad or whatever.
This, IMO, is NOT important whatsoever. You should understand the build phase, but building it yourself is totally irrelevant and unnecessary. I would encourage an IDE.

You at least have a better than average concept, which is to say I like the site design. What you should do now is go back and apply some more stringent criteria (including those already suggested, and I am convinced you are intelligent enough to recognize where and how you have left some avenues uninvestigated) and develop the site and your knowledge at the same time.

Keeping with the "better than average" concept, why not add an "about the author" (you don't have to use your real name)? Then you could have a logical, objective presentation of your qualifications as a source of knowledge ("I am a master's student in computing science", "I have worked on such and such a project," -- the other thing's you've done that are C related). It would be nice to see this practice normalized on all tutorial material, and not just some.

got some relief after your post Mr MK27

thank you and thank to all other members.

Come on, man - a syntax error in your "Hello, World" program? That needs to be fixed before inviting others to use your tutorial.

Yep, that's pretty shameful. I'm picking up on a mistake on basically every other bullet point. You can use this to teach anyone how to program... I would stray a new programmer away from this site the second I caught them reading it.

As said above, the best thing you have going for you is the layout, which isn't bad. I'm not a big fan of the aqua or teal or whatever the blue is... but that's personal preference. If it were my choice alone to guide you, I'd say focus on fixing the content before worrying about the site design or advertisements at all. The second a newbie tries to compile your "Hello World" program and gets an error, not to mention a warning for deprecated libraries if they compile it as C++ as your comment suggest, they're going to flee like madmen.

Only a poor writer would leave his final draft as a list.

Don't make such silly assumptions. Why would you be assuming that the "student" decided "Oh I might get this very old compiler that wasn't very good to start with and learn with it!!111oneoneeleven".

Other than that... Nice layout . I too would not recommend a beginner to this website, perhaps a more experienced programmer if I wanted to have a laugh.

PS: I made it small so I don't hurt your feelings.

i appreciate the time and effort you have spent to help the others . its really good , really good!
but the problem here is , first of all now a days people are learning standard C/C++ with new and modern IDEs, not TC and stuff . , i know why you chose TC, because of the college or the university of yours ! in India and some other countries they are still teaching C/C++ in old fasion ! using TC, they dont even bother updating their knowledge concerning this !
i myself was/am a victim of this consequence. i wont forget the time when i handed in my project ( a simpletron emulator ) to my professor! , after observing its functionalties, he questioned me , did you code it in TC? i said no! is it under DOS( by saying this he meant did you develope it under MS-DOS ) ? i said nope! again he said ! did you use Visual C++? well nah!!!
to his supprise ! he said so what in the hell are you talking about! how did you make this!?
i said,! thats simple, i coded this emu according to the latest C++ standards! and i used CodeBlocks IDE under windows !as you see they cant even make difference between a DOS based app and a Standard console app, to them , every console application is a DOS application!! ... he asked me about the GUI ! and how i managed to make that ! he hast heard of Wxwidgets either! he couldnt comprehend how it is possible to make a GUI application in C++ without using VC++ or CBuilder !! so you see thats the problem!

after all , it is a good idea to cover the standards not sth deprecated!

Note that we are criticizing your site because it's not full of very good information (old, undefined, deprecated, etc).
But that isn't to say we are criticizing your effort. If you would just fix what needs to be fixed and learn proper ways, then you could make your tutorial site and we would gladly refer to it.
