When I learned vb, my dad's friend taught me how to do some things and gave me some sample projects and basically let me learn by trial and error and When i came to this site, was helped greatly, and now I'm moving on to c++ and I have no idea what im doing and if somebody could just give me a sample project of a calculator(that was the first thing i worked on in vb) or something like that, I would greatly appreciate it. thanx in advance! )
