C++

Ok, where do I start.

Hello world application.

Just start with basic stuff like input, output and doing math problems. That's what my highschool teacher started our class off with.

[heedicalking]

Going back even FARTHER then that. What do I download, how do I set it up?

[Skele]

Well, you can go download Visual Studio Express from Microsoft. It gives you the basic working environment, such as compiling, debugging, etc, and is good enough for learning with.

I have Visual Studio C++ but I cannot find the Build button.

I have Visual Studio C++ but I cannot find the Build button.

Read tutorials. Don't start with any projects that put you in over your head. As Skele said, start with hello world, I/O, and math problems.

I know the basics of C++, But now I  want a GUI. I cant get one because every tutorial i found gives me build errors when i try to use the example code for reference D:

Make sure when you make a project you make a Win32 console application. When it gets to the Application Wizard right after make sure to go next and select empty project.

EDIT: Also, I recommend starting with something like C. I started on C++ and it was somewhat confusing. After learning C in first year college I understood more about where some of the more advanced C++ stuff came from.

Point of it was that C is probably a better first step. :o

Fixed

Well if he specifically didn't learn more about other languages from learning C then that wasn't a fix.

[heedicalking]

Can someone help me get Visual C++ to work? I cannot find the Build button.

[Marcem]

Go to the debug menu then click "run without debugging" You don't want to really build it now.  THen you would fill up your hard drive with pointless math programs and "Hello world" programs.
