There's always email if you need something HD

I miss the bigass discussions that I never took part in but enjoyed reading ;3

When was C created? Sometime in the 70's, right? I don't know mah history. :/

Yeap. Well, i could go Google it to confirm it but I'm not going to.
It was some short period after B, and B was in the late 60's i think

Hmmm you've convinced me to go with C++.

One thing I am going to do, is finish the program I started.
I do not know how to write syntax (or string I think is what it is called)
Something like this:

Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace PictureViewer
{
    static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application****n(new Form1());
        }
    }
}

Basic window. I just copied paste that form the Visual Stuido 2010... I would rather learn how to write that then have it do it for me.

I do understand a bit, but very very little. If someone would be able to re-direct me to C++ (I guess I just got to go to that very complex tutorial...) or if there are books. That would be nice. A teacher would be sweet also.

Edit: It seems now that I am farther into making my program it's explaining how to write code. Well I'm still stickin with C++ after I try a few more things.

            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application****n(new Form1());
        }
    }
}

Amazon has a lot of books on C++

I suggest a fysical book, they're easier to read. (Instead of an ebook.)

Physical with an F?

and that is just your preference, PLUS i would trade for inconvenience instead of spending $40 on a good book

I didn mean that =)

Oh yeah sorry physical is with an f in my language so I sometimes forget

btw if you're looking to make 'windows' apps - anything more than basic command-line based stuff you see everywhere around here - in C++, you'll have to pick your poison on how to implement the UI (e.g. straight up win32 api, MFC, WTL or a 3rd party library) - all of which will make the average 13 year olds here freak the f*ck out because it's 'too complicated & confusing'... of course you could do a C++ backend with C# WPF frontend (heck that's how VS2010 was developed) but that's probably way over everyone's head here

SIF! WPF makes me QQ though
