Hi Everybody
February 26, 2002 04:31 PM
Hi. I''m new to all this.
I have Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 and would like to know what I should learn and where I should learn it (what site/what book) to be able to start making little game (tetris/other basic things).
Thanks in advance. This site looks good.

Ok. I''ve read some of that, and I''m going to program C++ in Windows (probably with Direct X later).
Can anyone tell me a good site to learn C++ from? (Please don''t say a book, because I can''t afford one).
Thanks again.

Here's a good site to learn DirectX:
http://sunlightd.virtualave.net/Windows/DirectX/
If you just started programming, I suggest you learn the C++ language first. My suggestion is the book Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 24 Hours. I you said no books but this is probably one of the cheapest programming books I have ever seen (it's about $20!!!). Good luck programming!!!

C++ is not easy for newbies, and you are better off with a book. When times are tough, I buy books from Barnes & Noble or Borders, read them in a few weeks, and return them. Or you could take the more conventional route and check out a book from the public library. Herb Schildt's book are always excellent BTW.

Thanks to everyone so far.
One more thing. After I learn C++, will I need to learn Win32 before Direct X?

Be careful doing stuff like this too much, cause the store''s Loss Prevention department will start tracking you as a Problem Returner.
