Thread: Advanced programming in C++

Does anyone know any good places to learn about how to do some very advanced programming in C++? I have Visual C++, and I would like to work on some really complex projects, but I just mainly know the stuff in most books

try learning the Windows API bky reading Petzold's book. Believe it or not, it's all stuff you already know, but used in ways you probably hadn't thought of.

What are some of the topics in that book? I am just basically looking for stuff beyond searching, sorting, and stuff like that. I mean like header files and stuff like that

typdefs, structs, function calls, use of header files and library's to make Windows programs without use of a rapid development tool like VBasic or VC++ or BCB.


Read Eckel's book--available on line in full text version. Describes all aspects of beginning/intermediate C++ from a somewhat different viewpoint than most textbooks, and examples are a bit different as well.

Sit in on a game development discussion, or pick up a beginning game programming book for your own use.

well so far I have had C++ 1 and 2 that my high school offered, and I have "Algorithums in C++", "C by example", "Tricks of windows game programming gurus","C++ from scratch","Visual C++ Programmers Guide", a book on open gl, and a ton of other types of programming books for other languages. Not many talk about the very advanced stuff though
