I've been told in the past that in order to really start windows programming I would have to download the Platform SDK. I just visited the site and I'm not really sure which of the SDKs I should download. Should I stick with the Core SDK or should I just download the whole thing (:eek: eek!)? Thanks in advance.
Yo don't actually need an sdk. If you have a compiler fx. VC++ then you can start programming with Windows.
But it is an advantage to have the SDK though...
You should really get the whole thing. Its a very worth while download if you plan to do alot of Windows programming, esp. API and not MFC. There is a TON of stuff that is very useful and worth while. I know its large but trust me its worth it in the long run.
If your plans are to just do some .dll, console, linux, etc. programming then you really dont need to worry about it much.
Eh, what the heck. I'll just download the whole thing. Thanks.
