    Simple stuff like:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>;
    
    int main()
    {
    	std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
    }

    What language should I learn that isn't as difficult as C++?

    Re: Post Race!

    None. C++ is the one to learn. If you understand that, everything else will be easy. So many languages derive from C/C++ in so many aspects that it is practically the root language of all the popular modern languages. On the other hand, C++ is so sprawling that even MS doesn't use the whole thing. They use a "rational" subset of the total language. Unless you intend to be a language lawyer, you won't need the whole thing, either. I've never bothered with the Standard Template Library, which didn't show up until after I had moved on from the language. What a beast. You can do lots of things with it, but to really know it is probably not worth the effort.

    So, what is boudin? If that's what's in the picture, it looks like a sausage made with rice (unless those things are moving, in which case I don't want to know).

    It's pork, rice, spices stuffed in pig intestine. It's really good. I generally eat it with crackers to get over the texture of the intestine(rubbery).

    I wonder why tutorials leave out a lot of stuff. Is it just that they're out-of-date.

    You should be able to peel it, though that might be considered gauche. Sausage casing is always something you don't want to think about. The spices make a sausage. The rest could be finely ground garbage from the local landfill and it would still go down well.

    We have a C++ forum here - and a sticky for a Info: Tutorial

    http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...-Info-Tutorial

    It has a link for:

    http://web.student.tuwien.ac.at/~e02...mp_start.xhtml

    Look at that tutorial - that's all I ever needed to get started (about 18 months ago I started using C++).

    This is the list you want to get placed on.

    I made it up to 7th place at one point. At least I am still in the top 10...

    Re: Post Race!

    That rep list is probably pretty nearly static for the top dozen, or so.

    A long time back, the reps/post count list showed only 12 per page for me. Something changed, at some point, with some kind of software upgrade, but there once was a CC thread about being in the page X club. X wasn't 1, either, so it wasn't a club for the top dozen, but for some group further down. I don't think I was even close, at the time (this was probably back in 2003 or 2004). Now I'd be in the page 1 club, though that club has now become much less exclusive (I see about 30 people on page 1, rather than just 12). I never thought that I'd end up this way.
