    Lightbulb Any Visual C++ Tutorials?

    Hi!

    Anyone out there have any ideals where the Windows Programming Tutorials (for Visual C++) in the Internet? I am looking for the free tutorials. A VC++ tutor must have a version 6 like I have. Though I do have a previous experience in C++ for doing DOS programming (60% of them), and the most I've learned is (from CProgramming.com):

    • Basics of C++
    • If statements (I haven't used ||, && and/or !)
    • Loops (I don't use it that much..., but I am wondering if I want to generate random numbers...)
    • Pointers (I use it sometimes)
    • Classes (I sometime don't remember about the use of classes, or maybe but could be used only for Windows.)*
    • Structs (sometimes I use it.)
    • Constants (sometimes, too.)
    • Inheritance (that's just part of Classes)
    • Non-prototyped function (I use it a lot)
    • Command line arguments? Hmmmm... I don't hing I use it much either.


    *But hey. Maybe I can implement trivia for computers into classes and so that maybe the program can access those questions ramdomly.

    Well, I'm not a big fan of DOS programming. Because of that, I am very interested in making games, some applications that test how well you know about computers, maybe a software synth application with drivers and that's probably it.

    >Windows Programming Tutorials

    If you want Windows tutorials write that instead of VC++ tutorials as your subject.

    I think Dual Catfish has Charles Petzolds Windows programming book on his FTP.
    You can also try www.sunlightd.com or www.winprog.org

    I wrote a couple...

    Since I only started learning c++ a year ago, i can still remember the kinds of things that I would have wanted to know, so I wrote a couple of tutorials that i thought might have helped me.

    http://kickme.to/cspot

    They might help. :P - mostly the one on vb equivalents if you're used vb, and the "first application" one.

    Thumbs down Sunlight and WinProg's tutors aren't helpful

    Thanks. But those tutors didn't help me gain knowledge out of DOS programming. Many (or some) parts in C++ are not explainable. And, in WinProg.org, I skip a lot (pretty much jumpped ahead), although I have a resource editor to create menus and dialogs. Also, WinProg told me to save it as .c file. And I am not geared at writing C-script language. Also, I would like to thank you (kickme.to/cspot) for writing and glad you have VC++6. Though I am not geared toward VB, I'd gained a lot of knowledge in C++ for DOS.

    In CProgramming.com, the tutorial stopped at inheritance -- syntax but when I proceed further into gaining knowledge in C++, I can't get into Binary Tree -- Part II. That's what stopped me from gaining experience in C++ before Windows Programming.

    Any help? I only like C++. The type of C++ I only interested in is Windows Programming -- my goal to create applications.

    Heck, I can't wait to get into Windows programming. And please remember that I am always looking for a free tutorial in C++/Win Programming.

    Yet I am running Windows XP Home Editon. I also use Visual C++ 6 but I might plan for a future upgrade to VC++ ".Net" version.

    Dammit we have posted the best ones! If they tell you to save as c then do it! Just cause they tell you to do that doesnt mean they use c to make the programs.
