Hello everyone! below are my problems: I have learn programming for more than 1 year,at the beginning I learn C, then move to C++.But till now i even don't kown what can i do with the Standard C++. I have ever try to learn visual c++,but some friend of mine told me it's not a good idea for beginers to learn programming under visual interface. Now, what i can do are just some easy problem under console mode. May be i must try SDK next, or spend my time to learn standard C++ again(focus on learning more standard functions,but i don't think it's a good way).don't break my confidence again. i am really love c++. Give me your tips! Sorry for my poor English! Thanks beforehand! share your feeling with me!

You can write console applications in VC++ and there is nothing particularly "visual" about it. You just write code, compile it and run it. Ignore your friend. A purely command line interface is a pain in the neck for beginning programmers (in fact for all programmers). Quote: Now, what i can do are just some easy problem under console mode.

Learn standard C++. Start with easy problems in console mode and then move on to difficult problems in console mode. Then move on to GUI programming. -- John Carson 1.

You didn't state what you overall goal is in learning to program in the first place. Possibly, you just have fun programming and there is no goal there, yet. If this is the case, you might want to consider working on the stuff which operates behind the scenes: not everybody has to become a GUI programmer. Actually, IMO the interesting problems don't really involve a GUI. There may be programs which effectively provide a GUI to give easier access to the underlying machinery. Here are a few things you might want to look into: - Boost (<http://www.boost.org/>) provides library components for loads of stuff which mostly rely only on standard C++ features. They always look for volunteers. - Standard C++ is well suited to implement the algorithms from all those funny books on algorithms and data structures in an efficient and generic fashion. - If you are interested in some business topic, you might want to look into the problems they got in the respective business domain and address them with programs. Actually, I made good progress when I learned C++ by eventually starting to answer questions asked in one of the C++ newsgroups. Also, in the newsgroups quite a few interesting problems are surfacing. -- <mailto:dietmar_kuehl (AT) yahoo (DOT) com> <http://www.dietmar-kuehl.de/> Phaidros eaSE - Easy Software Engineering: <http://www.phaidros.com/> Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         C++Talk.NET Forum Index -> C++ language (comp.lang.c++) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C/C++----------------C LanguageC Language (Moderated)C++ Language (Moderated)C++ language (comp.lang.c++)C++ language, library and standards Non-English C/C++ Newsgroups----------------C++ (German)C++ (French)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
