i bought a book called
Sams teach yourself C++ in 21 days
and when i bought it it came with 2 compilers dev c++ which i already got and it also came with Microsoft Visual Basic C++
i tried to use visual basic , but it was way too hard it had all the sub folders and thingys which i dont even know what they are used for , and i couldnt even figure out how to compile a simple program
Never heard of that, although Microsoft seems to be inventing a language on a monthly basis these days ;).Quote:
it also came with Microsoft Visual Basic C++
LoL...But seriously, are you sure it isn't just "Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0"? I'm pretty sure Microsoft Visual Basic C++ doesn't exist, because that would involve combining two languages together, which Microsoft does not have the intelligence to do. Plus C++ and Visual Basic would be basically VB anyways...VB is almost like a GUI C++ programming environment.Quote:

Yes, apart from it not using C++.Quote:

hehehe sorry i proly meant :-)
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
yes, Dev C++ maybe easier to use at the moment, but (like me) when you start to learn new and advanced things (mabe not that advanced...) Dev C++ becomes useless in a sense. If you ever want to download code, it would usually be in the form of a "workspace" for C++ which cannot be used in Dev C++. It can be frustrating. Just look in the help section of it or look on the internet for tutorials on how to use Microsoft Visual C++. This happned to me. I bought Microsoft Visual C++ becuase i found how crap Dev C++ was :) and I would highly recommend it. Especially if you decide to start to learn anything like how to program in Windows or DirectX.
Anybody have an comments for me?
what do u mean by program in windows or directx??arent we already programming in windows (i'm a windows user)
i only got the introductory edition (cos it came with the book in a box)
but if i can get the intro working after i figure out the basics of Dev c++, i might buy MVC++
if you are a beginner at the moment, you would definately be programing in "windows console" which looks like a dos program. Direct X is what most games are written in - its for graphics.
Please help this dummy..... I downloaded two compilers - Borland 5.5 and Bloodshed 4.0 both C++. I need someone please to guide me step by step by step, (If you would be kind enough to), so I can begin programming in C++. I need help from the point of turning on my computer.
I am to the point of paying someone to assist me.
Thanks
