(Sorta) advanced programming.
« on: November 09, 2004, 12:00:07 am »
Ok, i\'m an advanced C++ programmer... sorta...
What i mean is that i know the basics of C++, but i do not have a good knowledge of more advanced things like creating buttons, and making windows. So far i can only do things in the \"command window\".

In other words, if just learning to program is ridinga bike with training wheels... And big bussiness programing is BMX. I\'m the guy going \"look maa, no hands!\".

So, can anyone recomend some tutorials that will help me get to the next level of programing... Right now i\'m looking for something that will help me learn some C++ libraries.

If you\'re in school (high school or college) you can always go to the library and check out a book.  That\'s what I did.  Otherwise you can do a google search.  I tried it and it seemed to have plenty.

Thanks for your help... I have taken the above posted tutorial before... But i will re-read some things that i need brushing up on.

I\'m still searching for a guide that teaches me how to use the C++ libraries.

About making programs using windows and other Windows features there are 2 ways: either code it manually or use something like Borland C++Builder to do it for you. I only have experience with the second method, but I googled for some tutorials if you want to learn the harder way.
