JRA_Wolf Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Hey all, I'd really like to get involved in coding, but know virtually nothing about C++. I have a large red book titled "Beginning Visual C++ 6" by Ivor Horton, and have read through most of it, but I find it kinda generic, and i still can't understand most of what's being said in the JK2 source code, except the IF commands, and #include. Do any of you have any suggestions for other books to help me along? Or even websites.. Thanks in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesentac Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Well first off, although there are a number of similiaraties between C/C++, what you really want to learn is C. And that's all I'll say atm.. brain fried.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchouky Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 coding for hl... when i started coding for jk2 or quake well i was strange first lol !because i wanted to use the c++ class definitions .... but at my informatic school we study a stupid language : Turbo Pascal ...and the TP structures are very similar to C structs so no problem.... Practicing is the key . good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiebbe Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 dont get me wrong, but isnt Turbo Pascal a bit outdated? Iam learning C, Visual Basic, and html (wow, thats hard ;0 ) awyway, best way to learn is to browse some sites, i use google with a search string like: C+programming+tutorial or something like it, always works good luck!

Tchouky Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 TP IS WAY TOO MUCH OUTDATED !!! the language is so old and rigid you have too many restrictions and don't have any liberty so you learn programation in "the right way...." well this suxx but i learn c and c++ outside (and i get very good grades at TP to....) next year we will start c at school and i will know everything they will try to teach me (as usual )! but this is a good school we smoke and get drunk all day ! fun and not too hard work ! edit : it s the first year for me in this school (out of 5) so most of the students don't know anything to programation (98% actually ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badakku Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 well, I thinkl you're quite lucky with your school!! At mine we can only learn a bit of TP and that's all, just because the teachers don't know anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
