    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
    for Win32api there is always MSDN, which is pretty much the best reference you can get
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    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.

    Which books to prefer?

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

    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.

    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.
