 Posted: Tue Sep 16, 2008 3:39 pm Post subject: I just started C++ |
 |
|
Im a Sophmore in HighSchool, I got classes and sports, and my schedule is real tight.
I've planned out a way for me to break in at least an hour of programming a day.
Can someone give me some "Beginner" projects I should start off with?
Examples: Calculator, Clock, Stop Watch, etc.
Thanks guys, and I'm going to skip consoles, and go straight for Win32.
If you know any good sites for Win32, and not consoles, please post here.
Thanks guys!

MY suggestion is to start with consoles. Since you know nothing about programming, it is easier. In the long run, you will get further with starting with consoles.
Google "C Plus Plus" and click on the first link. Then take the tutorial/lesson

Based on the source code i've read with C++, most of it isn't similar to C# at all.

| If you can't program for console you have no chance at programming a UI.

Step 2: Write a "Guess the Number", or other simple console App's to get a hang of the basics
Step 3: NOW you can move into Win32 (http://www.winprog.org/tutorial)
Step 4: ??????????

Thanks everyone for the help.
I have a quick question: Doesn't Visual C++ already offer a toolbox and everything for GUI? Couldn't I just create a form, add a button, than add code to a button?

I started C++ with Win32. I love the Win32 APIs. In my opinion, they are much simpler than the C/C++ runtimes.
Btw, Visual C++ is different from C++. Visual C++'s syntax is similar to Visual Basic.

Visual C++ already has like a built-in UI maker. Can someone answer my question above?

You can used dialogs to create windows like that but you still need to write all the code to handle the window.

That's the funniest thing I've heard in months. But I know what you meant - VC++ allows you to create forms using MFC. If you create a Windows Forms (MFC) application project in VC++ it will (should  ) automatically run the form, which you can deal with in an event-based environment.
