I'd be interested in some basic C++ advice as well. I've heard it's better to understand the concepts etc rather than the language at first as it then makes everything fall into place more quickly.
I have downloaded "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days Second
Edition". In the chapter: Who should read this book and
there is says you don't need any experience with c++
to start this book but i have a little VB experience.
My Advice on C++
Go through the book and follow the examples.. you learn by doing.
C++ (the original by Strousap) has under gone many metaphorasis since it's creation in the mid 80's.
First C++ is OOP your data no longer just STORES information .. it is part of the program.
Second Objects comunicate, IE they talk to each other and pass information and messages.
Third READ THE BOOK. Don't start programing stuff and learn bad habits.. READ THE BOOK. THEN do things. NEVER the other way around. When you get to the point where they say "now you try something to do this" you've likely learned enough to do some actual programing.
C++ is just a tool it's not GOD!
Like any tool it's only as good as the person weilding it. So learn to use the tool first them you can build something.
i've tried yesterday some C++, but the Sh!it is
hard to understand for a beginner. I Don't
know... C++...Delphi...
Delphi is Powerful too. And Its easier and
books are easier to find. (where i live)
c++ is not hard .. but really to do any programming language you have to do the psudeo code of what you are trying to do .. write out the psuedu code .. put here if needed.
Once you have fully working code .. it is easy to replace it with delphi or c++
But you have to understand exactly what you are trying to do first .. otherwise you can have an extremly hard time.
Well, SculleatR, if you DO need help with c++, you must tell us what you don't understand. I know i'm not SO good at it, but i have some experience and can do stuff.
