Tutorial anyone??

I am really new to VC++ and im wondering if anyone fancies writing a tutorial on MFC programming that a stupid person like me could understand?? i know its a lot to ask but ive been told by people in the vb section that you guys can be really helpful.
Thanx

May be somebody else could give you a link to a MFC programming tutorial site buecause one time i went to a web site which had all the beginning to intermediate programing in MFC. I suggest taht you learn windows API not MFC because that wont help you learn C++!

Nearly all the MSDN VC++ samples are MFC.

ok, if i want to learn API how do i go about doing that, i have used API in VB, but none of it my own code. I don't even know what it means, so any tutorials on API maybe??

Check out the FAQ ;)

You must get the MSDN if you want to start with API. It has all the info you will ever need.

Skitchen8 - are you new to windows programming in C++, or the language itself?

And yes, I ask this question every time someone says they're new to VC++ :rolleyes:

At this time I am reading "Programming windows 95". It is a great book that does not use MFC - pure Windows API. So if you want to programming in win9x then buy this book. IT is about $67 CAN

And here is another tutorial on programming in C++ using windows API.

I tried to learn C++ about a year ago, but i had to much going on in my life to concentrate hard enough so i gave up. So I am pretty much new to both.

You may want to understand pointers, callback functions, alocating memory on the heap etc. , in one word to be quite familiar with the C++ language because windows programming involves a lot of these things. To many people who start windows programming it seems like a whole new language.

But have no fear, with a few weeks of practice you will se that it is not to hard.

I know that programming in console sucks becuase i have tried with playing around with if-else, for loop, classes in console apps but you really dont want to do that so you can just spend a week on C++ programming and then if you have done windows api in vb then you can move on the programming in windows using C++.
