I am still starting out with c++, but i like tackling complicated tasks when i learn. I have a project in mind that requires me to play MP3s. Since i will be doing MOST of the code in c++ (at least...

Thanks for the link. I am not sure why you couldn't post it on the forum? Well, maybe someone else would have outbid me! :) I decided not to get the book, so i will post the link here just in case...

I need to learn windows programming before the end of the semester (i hope i can be done, or i am S.O.L.) I could stick with win32 council, but i think my biology teacher would panic if she couldn't...

I really don't have a choice here... I know that learning the Windows API is a no-no when i infact don't even know C or C++ for that matter.


Holy !#$%^*&!!!!!!!! That book is expesive! $60...

I did find a documentation on it, as well as the .hlp file... I will post the link if i can find it again...

Can someone please point me to a good windows api tutorial? The one that i found (http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/) is nice, but it doesn't explain thing nearly enough. It kinda just drops the stuff...

I am not a huge fan of the MSDN site... It is FREAKISHLY slow. I was actually thinking of an offline option...

Does anyone have a help file with the Windows API stuff in it? I have searched, but have not found any (atleast ones with working links...)

Yup. I am learning the API. I found a nice tutorial (www.winprog.com/tutorial (http://www.winprog.com/tutorial))... I am learning! :) I now know the *BASIC* structure of a window$

It is for biology class!! :) Ha! My school doesn't offer a program class, or even an electronics class! Ugh... If i had a nickel for everytime i bugged the school board... In order to get an "A" in...

Well then... I guess i am in for one helz of a semester then, huh? :)

Ok... How hard is it to REALLY learn the Windows API? I played with it a bit, but it looked complex... I have a time frame to learn C++ from now to the end of the semester here (may 7)... So would...

As you probably have already read, i am new to c/c++. I have a simple little question, as i am not sure what happens in c/c++.

If i were to start using Visual C++ Express 2005, would some of...

So you understand why i want to learn c/c++? Oh... sorry... c OR c++

I cant think of too much that i didn't like about basic...

I don't like to type crap like "std::cout >>" and what not...

So would it be ok if i just stuck with C++, but also use some C commands? I really like some of the C commands, and dis like some of the C++ commands, but it also works the other way...

1) What is the major difference between C and C++?


2) Holy crap! They are some pretty big numbers! Scientific notation would be my first guess.... what would you suggest?

3) I didn't plan...

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
double first_def;
double secnd_def;
int fibcount;
int max;
double curfib;

int N;
