Thread: First Tutorial Finished, more to come!

The first tutorial has finally been written for From the Ground Up. Check it out, make some posts, gimme some feedback!

http://ftgu.TheJeffFiles.com/

More tutorials to be written tonight and tomorrow!

oh, ok, well, i can change it, no big deal.....thanks for telling me that though

a few probs
-this tutorial is aimed for VC++ users only. didn't you say you'd write them for Dev C++ as well.
-for the love of god, change the font

otherwise good tut. i especialy like the notes at the end for the function reference

did you really copyright that when you say all rights reserved?
nice site. keep going!

yes, i know i said i was aiming at devc++ also, but you have to give me time, I don't even have devc++ yet and I'm going to have to get used to it. I'm sorry they weren't uploaded at the same time

Hopefully I'll have a devc++ version up tonight though, and possibly tutorial 2 up by tomorrow

and what's the matter with the font? It's the default font on all websites....

oh, ok, I'll change that quick then.

ok, it's been changed, should be easier on the eyes now hopefully.

I just put that copyright thing at the bottom of all my pages, keeps the honest people from taking stuff or however that goes. Not like it really matters anyways, heh

I would like to know more arguments for that function. and the full file in one run ex:

Code:

int main(void){
     printf("Hello Word\n");
     return 0;
}

not

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

blah blah blah

Code:

int main(void)

blah ...
because sometimes I can't something to compile that I am learning from, but I was able to copy the whole thing. It makes it cumbersome like that. Just a suggestion; you could have it both ways

oh ok then. i think it's quite an important part of a winAPI tut because if you look at theForgers tutorial, hes supposing you're using MSVC++ which isn't to dandy when you want to 1) check out the source code(well of course you can, but theres still a .dsp thrown in there :/) 2) learn about things that MSVC automates (dialog design is limited to a few controls so i've ended up wiriting most of mie on the fly today )

BTW, you do know the default font is chosen by Microsoft (at least if you are using internet explorer)

ok, i updated it again, tell me what you think

-Thanks for the feedback so far everyone, once I've got the style down for these tutorials it should be a lot smoother when I start adding new ones...

FTGU...

Reminds me of STFU...
