[Dev-C++] A question

[<sj...@ne...>]

Hello,
I'm writing to ask if somebody knows a C tutorial to start learning this =
language, which teach me to create simple programs running on ms. dos =
and programs running on windows. If somebody knows, could you tell me =
please?

Best regards

[Dev-C++] A question

[Philip B. <phi...@pb...>]

Hi people,

I have a quick question. I'm just learning about resource scripts, so =
that I can add my own custom icons etc to my executables which is a =
pretty handy feature.
There is something that I'm wondering though. I have set GCC to strip my =
executable as that seems to make it a whole lot smaller. Now my question =
is, will
that remove my resources as well? Or is it just removing junk that =
doesn't need to be there anyway? Also, I sett the further optimisation =
feature to the
highest value, but I can't really tell any difference in the execution =
speed/performance. What does it actually do when that option is set? =
Obvious things
are to remove loops with no instructions in them and stuff like that, =
but what else does it do?

Regards
Philip Bennefall

The "junk" it removes need to be there if you want any useful
information when your program crashes, or to get any useful info from a
debugger (other than raw machine instructions). No, it won't remove
anything it needs to run correctly (like resources).

Aloha from Honolulu,
   I've been using "Sams Teach Yourself C++ In 24 Hours" by Jesse=20
Liberty (Sams Publishing) .  I also have "C++ The Complete Reference" by=20
Herbert Schildt (McGraw-Hill/Osborne) .  Teach Yourself... came with a=20
CD containing the source code for all the lessons as well as the DevC++=20
compiler.  I found the lessons to be easy to understand.  I like having=20
the Reference though, so I can look up a specific word that the lesson=20
book may not have been clear about.  Like having a dictionary on hand=20
while reading a textbook.  I also found a book called "Effective C++=20
Second Edition" by Scott Meyers (Addison-Wesley).  This is more=20
advanced, but describes how and why things happen as they do, because of=20
language specifications  and compiler implimentation.  It provides many=20
examples of how not to do things, and why not; as well as how to do=20
things and why.
Hope this helps,
Roger

For learning C, there is The C Programming Language by K&R. Probably the 
best guide out there to C! Also, I would not recommend Sam's Teach 
Yourself C++ in.. books. You can/'t learn a language in 24 hours or even 
30 days. It takes a long time to learn a language. I have been working 
on C/C++ for about 1 3/4 years, and just now consider myself an 
intermediate programmer. Different people take different times though. 
Probably the only ones out there who can learn a language in a week are 
super hackers like ESR and Stallman. Anyways, The C++ Programming 
Language is a good book to have. It is written by Bjarne Stroustrup, 
creator of the C++ language. The special edition has a hard cover and a 
few new appendices, but costs more than the 3rd edition. However, if you 
flip through C++ books a lot, special edition will help. If you can get 
through Effective C++, you should be apply to get through The C++ 
Programming Language. Also, check out More Effective C++ by Scott Myers 
if you read the first.

Aloha from Honolulu,
   I got "Sams Teach Yourself C++..." at CompUSA, "The Complete=20
Reference..." at Barnes & Noble Booksellers, and "Effective C++..." at a=20
used-books store.  If those aren't nearby, try Amazon.com or perhaps an=20
on campus bookstore at your local college, often they'll have used editio=
ns.
   As for not being able to learn it in 24 hours, that's just the=20
title.  The book is organized into 24 lessons.  I've studied them one at=20
a time and run through the codes.  Its taken me about 3 or 4 hours per=20
lesson.  Some are more complex than others.  I look things up in other=20
books when something is not clear and I'm not concered about how long it=20
takes, just how well I understand the subject matter.  When something is=20
still puzzling me after looking at my books, I email this users list or=20
look around at other web sites--type C++ in the search engine and see=20
where it leads.
   The book by  Bjarne Stroustrup is also at Barnes & Noble, but it was=20
$5 more than "The Complete Reference...",  its copyright date was 2002=20
(vs 2003), "The Complete Reference..." has more pages, and the author of=20
"The Complete Reference..." served on the ANSI/ISO committee that=20
published the standard.  Don't get me wrong; as soon as I can part with=20
another $50 chunk on a book, I'll add Stroustrup to my library.  But=20
when spending that much, I examined both books thoroughly  before =20
making my choice.
Happy Programming,
Roger
