Simply buy <DIV></DIV>>great books and learn! For example the best C++ path that i currently <DIV></DIV>>consider for a newcomer is: <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>1) "Accelerated C++" by Andrew Koenig, Barbara Moo <DIV></DIV>>2) "The C++ Programming Language" 3rd Edition or Special Edition. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>For you now i suggest the second since i guess you have reached the <DIV></DIV>>intermediate level. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>After these, for Windows programming i currently suggest "C++ Builder <DIV></DIV>>Developer's Guide" by Sams Publishing (for C++ Builder 5) since i <DIV></DIV>>consider VC++ 6 as legacy. My view may change with the upcoming VC++ 7 <DIV></DIV>>.NET although C++ Builder will still be the same valuable. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Ioannis <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>* Ioannis Vranos <DIV></DIV>>* Programming pages: <HTTP: www.noicys.d2g.com /> <DIV></DIV>>http://www.noicys.d2g.com <DIV></DIV>>* Alternative URL: <HTTP: noicys run.to>http://run.to/noicys <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>The course was by International Correspondence Schools. First of all I <DIV></DIV>>wanted the microsfot certified professional course but as I came to the <DIV></DIV>>end of this course I asked about the exams, and they tiold me I was on <DIV></DIV>>another course completely (they'd spent ages telling me about how great <DIV></DIV>>the MCP courses were, and sent me loads of documents about it including <DIV></DIV>>the massive booklet with my course cd). <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>This other course was a basic course, objectives were basic command line <DIV></DIV>>stuff no mention of windows anywhere). <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Topics - off the top of my head there were Classes, inheritance, binary <DIV></DIV>>file input and output, ifs, pointers, data types...will have to look <DIV></DIV>>them up. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Cost was about £530 (approx. $750) <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>It took me from April to September to finish as I could go at my own <DIV></DIV>>pace and, being freelance in the games industry, I had some time. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>It was in the UK, but the cd is with american voice-overs so it's from <DIV></DIV>>the states. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> >From: Luigi Santillo <DIV></DIV>> >To: "Daniel Glenfield" <DIV></DIV>> >Subject: Re: Luigi - Re: [Dev-C++] Re: Execution Error !? <DIV></DIV>> >Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 08:16:39 +0100 <DIV></DIV>> > <DIV></DIV>> >At 08:11 12/01/02 +0000, you wrote: <DIV></DIV>> > <DIV></DIV>> >>#include is OLD????
