Beginner on Win32 apps, lame question.

Templario · 11-06-2002, 02:07 PM

I´m a beginner on win32 apps. All i´ve done till now are console apps, so u know what i´m going through :\

My question is lame and simple: Is there any point on sticking to C or it´s time for me to learn C++ if i wanna do small win32 winsock apps?

Any help would be great

for winsockets i dont have to advance to C++...
winsockets are used for making networking application that work under windows ..I hope u arnt confusing windowsAPI with winsocket ?????

No, thank god i already know the difference between win32 API and winsockets

Maybe i wasn´t clear in my question: I´m a beginner on C, doing console apps for DOS and Linux, and suddenly i have to develop a small number of tcp/ip "windowed" programs (like a visual traceroute for example). I got some tutorials on working with the API and all of them are made with C++ examples

And the examples of TCP/IP programs i could find on the net are also made with C++.

So it makes me think if i should really do it in C. Would things be easier if i try to learn C++?
