RE: [Dev-C++] Favorite C++ List

[Daniel G. <sp...@ho...>]

I would recommend getting signed up for this mailing list as it deals with 
the compiler, but there should be a better list for C++ questions. Myself, I 
use this list for C++ questions but also codeproject.com and tek-tips.com 
but there are messageboards. I too would like to know of a C++ mailing list.

RE: [Dev-C++] Favorite C++ List

I would suggest that they go a different route and try USENET. A lot of
hackers ( if you think they are people who break into computers, go to
www.catb.org/~esr) hang out on USENET and have lots of info. However,
this requires you be able to ask smart questions. Head on over to that
site given before to read the "How to Ask Smart Questions" HOWTO.
[/snip]

Thanks for the suggestion. As for definitions and smart questions, these
are among the first things that I hand to new developers when the come
through the door. After 25 years of doing this it seems the smart thing
to do with newer hackers. Eric's stuff should be a must read for anyone
who wants to code. I also hand them a copy of Scott Meyer's books on
Effective C++

[snip]
This is a very good list, but I might suggest getting them VIsual Studio
for MSDN access and the help system.
[/snip]

We are an open source shop, so we really try to avoid using VS (code
bloat and all that). It does make us a little more hands on with the
code, but it pays benefits in understanding later on. We have used the
Win 32 API in the past, but we are moving to wxWindows so that we do not
have to concurrently code seperate GUI's when needed. You did know that
you can access MSDN for free right? If not you can subscribe to the
update service and receive CD's at a fairly rapid and expensive rate.
The reason that I have them subscribe to this list is for questions
concerning DevC++ itself...not further code development.

Thanks for the info.

Yahoo groups has a large number of C/C++ lists -- quite a few have over
2000 members.
My suggestion is to take a couple of hours and browse them to see which
group(s) would best fit your requirements.  In my experience they have
been quite good.
