>and you were like one of the main posters on that 'Virus Programming' thread!
Then it was the thread I was thinking of. That was a fun one. I actually remembered it being fun despite my awful memory.

>Do you have any suggestions for a book to buy?
You can get a free ebook on C++ from MindView. I honestly haven't read the first volume (but it's highly recommended) and I enjoyed reading the second volume very much. However, I always recommend learning C++ from Accelerated C++ because it's short and sweet, and teaches C++ as it should be taught.

That's because DevC opens a window to run the program, runs it, and when the program ends, closes the window. Change your code to this:
  1. #include <stdio.h>
  2.  
  3. int main()
  4. {
  5. printf("This is output from my first program!\n");
  6. getchar();
  7. return 0;
  8. }
Please use Code Tags, not colors. And please read this about using computer-speak.

Probably not. I assumed you wanted to learn C++ from your posts. Python might actually be a better introduction to programming (it's more forgiving), but eventually you will want to learn C++.

N-o-o-o. Assembly language is probably the last language you will learn. It also happens to be the least forgiving and least user-friendly. Happiness It is best used in low level, OS base type programming (aka in situations other languages just won't do).

I'd recommend RPG II as the last languave you want to learn! At least assembly is useful.

Cool, thnx...something that i read made me think that assembly was easier lol .... im trying to learn Python at the moment ... from there ill move on to C++ :lol: ...

Whats up with Perl? is it easier than Python? is VBScript hard to learn? After learning Python could i move on to VBscript? or Python> C> C++> VBScript?
thnx
