The jump to grahical/windows programming

Bodiger · 2004-06-08T08:19:48

I''ve just finished re-reading my c++ and c# beginner style books. I think i may finally be ready to start using one of the api ,sdk''s or something like that. I''ve looked at some of the openGL tutorials on Nehe but find all the stuff just to create the window to be a bit overwhelming. I would like to start of steady with something that is not too difficult so i can gradually work my way up from there. It''s not game programming i want to start with right away so i was leaning more towards Win32. Another question that i have regards how these API''s and SDK''s etc relate to c++ or c#. Would i write the programs in my current compiler and just include a few files or what? cheers

If its a small, simple act, throw out the book and use VB6. Its a shitty, shitty language, but is the model upon which all gui construction systems should be built - even doing it class-wise rather than with the form-drawing tools is fast and easy.
