Anyone know C/C++? I'm getting back into programming and trying C/C++ again.

Right now I'm learning the Win32 API.

My first REAL program will be a Windows GUI builder for C/C++, something similar to what VisualBasic, LibertyBasic, and such have, but for C/C++. It will be a simple program that will simply output the C/C++ code to be copy and pasted into your program.

Eventually I plan to create my own OS and programming language, but that won't be for a long while.

I don't know if I know it or not anymore, I've been retired for 10 years and haven't done anything.

I don't think it has changed much.

The thing aboutC/C++ is that it contained a few diffrent ways of going about it. The version that started with a main method such as

int main( void )
{

}

and the other that began with a String argument as a parameter. Threfore much of the advice that I would have would pertain to the simpler of the two ... which is prolly not the one your doing by the sounds of it.

I'm doing Windows programming. I'm learning the Windows API now, learning to do the GUIs and dialogs and all that fun stuff.

I'm using the Dev C++ IDE.

Cool I am studying JavaScripts right this second and about to get back to it... studying network and graphics programming in Java as well but not this second...

I'm pretty skilled in C/++ and like to use the Win API without any layers to get the full view of how my code and the system work together. Once you do all the lower level stuff with the API then you know how to take control of things that MFC, etc. would have done for you but without learning nearly as much.

Good luck on the projects. I had wanted to do something similar but have too many things that took priority.

wxDev C++ is pretty much what I was planning on creating, so that project is no longer a plan for me. I will play around and learn, creating browsers and other programs and see what happens.

I am a software engineer for the U.S. Government. I have done a lot of military simulation in C++ and some embedded systems in C.
