VC-World?

for VB there is VB-World
for Java,there is sun.java.som and javaworld.com
How about C++? which site is better for searching and discussion? VC_World?

Please, you experienced C++ guy give a guide here.

thanks.

This place has always been able to answer my questions.

We try our hardest :)

We're not perfect though, and a few questions totally stump us, especially when they're not actually C++-related (things like obscure Win32 API functions, or using COM DLLs from VB, stuff like that).

MFC used to be like that, but seem to have a little contingent of MFC supporters here ;)

Most of what C++ language represents is covered though, earlier I would have said exceptions were an exception, but parksie filled that hole for me :eek:;)
for Win32api there is always MSDN, which is pretty much the best reference you can get :)

Undoubtedly, this site is pretty good ---that's why I asked the question here. ;)

I just thought there should be a place like VB furum but especially talking about VC++, which also have general , Database, COM.....so on......different columns. also have many code examples......and more progeammers visit it.

Anyway, this place definitely is where I like to come.

thank you all.

I have Charles Petzold and July 2000 MSDN. Are these enough or do I need something more for Win32 programming?

Amitabh -

Petzold is it for Windows without MFC.
You really need MSDN; you have it as well.

All asumming you know a little C to start with.

ejudy - this is a good site. For extensive articles, this is not the best site. Try www.codeguru.com for articles.

Hello,
depending of what I'm looking, I often go on the forum of gamedev.net for directx questions.

I know C a little bit. I am having little problems with Paint Event and the sorts. I think I will have to wrok harder then.

Read the Petzold again then. There is nothing in the basics that Petzold does not explain. And if you don't understand a special part come here.
