 Posted: Fri Dec 05, 2008 2:44 pm Post subject: [Help]How to start this project |
 |
|
Hi guys, i'm trying to start a project in C++. I want to make a simple chat application or an "I.M". Since my coding knowledge and experience in C++ is VERY small, I'm going to start with a smaller basic version of the app. Hopefully I intend to turn it from a simple "message sender" to an I.M OR an e-mail type application. I was wondering if someone can show me where i should start to accomplish this and what things i'll need to know. If some of you are very advanced in C++ and think this project is too advanced, could you kindly post a guide or resource on what sort of applications i can code for practice as a beginner so that I may work into this type of coding. Any and all positive help is welcomed.
thank you.
-Summary-
Goal: To learn how to create a message sender which I may evolve into an I.Ming application or emailer by coding it in C++.
Note: I realize there are many guides out there such as cplusplus.com etc. but they have proven to be not helpful for me.

It's somewhat related but there isn't much of a learning process through it. It's basically "heres the code, there ya go." I heard before that learning winsockets would be needed. Can someone confirm this?

Er, confirmed? If this is your first project though, well, you need to consider something smaller

Any suggestions? :O And a guide or resource which has proved to work for beginners in C++ all- around for starting out type of thing would be cool.
