Guest vijay555 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Chaps and chapesses, After all this talk about development, I think i ought to do some work and finally learn C++ properly. I'm ok, but not fluent, and tech savvy and can VB/eVB. Any recommendations for a good book to get started in C++? V
Guest mark_g_james Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 The two books that never leave my side are: The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup - which lists everything you'd ever need to know about the standard language (although you'll notice some typical MS style differences) The C++ Standard Library by Nicolai Josuttis - which goes into so much STL goodness that I didn't put it down for weeks ;) (yes, i'm sad like that :) ) Those two aren't really for the beginner though, and not targeted at embedded C++. Once you get more into C++ you'll want these to get the most out of the language. As for learning, there's plenty of books out there - and they all teach in different styles - go into a book store and have a read of a few, see which you learn the most from, then put it back on the shelf and buy it cheaper off the internet :wink:
Guest vijay555 Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 Cheers Mark! I work more than full time in law, but love computers... have to find something comfortably digestable, a lot of the books seem to be trying to impress you with how much they can fit in. I'd rather know how much they can fit in me! Again, thanks for the insight. where d'ya buy your books from btw? V
Guest mark_g_james Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 Again, thanks for the insight. where d'ya buy your books from btw?

Guest TheCardinal Posted August 16, 2003 Report Posted August 16, 2003 i trying to learn c++, what path should i take to create an application for the SmartPhone? i have started in creating c++ win32 console application only. i have tried looking at the sample codes from the sdk but its way out of what i have read. Any suggestion?
Guest muff Posted August 16, 2003 Report Posted August 16, 2003 if I was you I'd be learning C++ in the normal window environment - not even necessarily using the windows constructs - but just learning the language, and generating DOS style applications to learn the basics trying to learn on the smartphone might be a little quirky, as it's a little fussy sometimes - and if you're not experienced with the language it may leave you fealling a little lost personally I always recommend the 'Dummies Guide' books for quick learning - I have several myself, and as a quick way to pick up the basics of a subject, they are great the other good ones are the 'Learn XXX in 24 hours' series, though these are usually more hardcore for the beginner either way, good luck :) muff
Guest sonborj Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 @muff am i right to assume that i need C++ for the main program and then put it on the smartphone via the SDK?
Guest muff Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 the SDK along with eVC++ (or Visual C++) lets you compile your C++ program into an EXE that you can run on the phone
Guest Myke Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 my favorite is Learn C++ in 5 Minutes
Guest MECX Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 C++ in plain english is our recomended one at uni---meant to be good. :lol:
Guest soccerwrek Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 I'm surprised no one said: "Wait for 2003 and use .NET with C#..." :shock:
