This is not a question.

There are more than 1000 sites which can give you examples on c++ and good explanations on lots of topic.

Sorry Zlatko01, this question is just too broad to answer here... check out the articles[^] here at CP for more useful information and guides.

If you want to learn advanced C++, then you need to practice, practice, practice. C++ is not a language that is easily learned through theory alone. When I learned C++ back in the day, the best resource that I used while writing, messing up, and then rewriting again was the The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup[^].
This, in my humble opinion, is the best raw C++ book out there because it focuses on the language, not the other libraries that have been built on top of the language. My philosophy is to learn the language first, then the other libraries like MFC, etc...

Good points, a 5.

Good suggestion. I've always found this book to be very helpful, and it does contain a lot of example code as well as exercises. Even in the age of internet, online articles and e-books, this is a book I'm happy to have - physically - on my desk.

Solution 7

how about start with a small project.
The project description for you is like this.
1. Create a table for customer in your database(say mysql) with the field name, dateofbirth, country.
2. create a windows form to populate the database
3. create another from to display it in table view
i) name will be taken from a text box
ii) date will be taken from a datepicker control box
iii) country name will be taken from a combobox.
4. create a tree control in which it will show all the name in list.

solve it. You will learn a lot

I doubt anyone can learn much about C++ from such a project at all, only about setting up a GUI interface and using a DB. I think you missed the point.

Solution 8

Maybe,you can use the QT Library first~~it is easy to get in~~

i have Dev-C++ and every book i read was about Console apps not about Windows apps, i've made lot of Console apps in Dev-C++ but Windows apps are like another language, not like anything i've seen before!

Windows visual c++ makes things relatively easy to get started on gui applications. You can just do some projects and keep an eye on the source code.

With dev, you can use opengl/glut, fltk, gtk, etc. All of which are freely available and have excellent documentation at their respective web sites. fltk and gtk both have online books for tutorials.

Albert Holguin 17-Jan-12 23:22pm

If you install the WinSDK, you can build Windows applications directly using calls to the WinAPI, although you'll have to learn the basics of Windows applications first. The biggest difference is the fact that Windows applications are event driven and rely on messages to communicate (seems simple, but a lot goes into building that framework).

Stefan_Lang 18-Jan-12 5:17am

In that case I suggest the book mentioned in Solution 4: "The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup". It's exactly what you need, and about the best investment I can think of to further your understanding of C++.

You should not entirely ignore GUI programming however: a GUI interface is magnitudes easier to deal with for a user than a command line interface, and as has been pointed out in various comments, it's not that hard to learn.

While we're discussing GUI: You seem to be having trouble using the GUI in this forum: For one, you shouldn't be submitting 'solutions' at all! What you posted here is now visible as a 'solution'. not only is this not a solution, but also no one but yourself will be notified of the fact that you added this to this 'thread'! If you wish to communicate with others, use the appropriate links right next to the solution or comment you wish to reply to: e. g. if you wish to comment on a solution, click the 'Have a Question or Comment' link below that solution; or if you wish to reply to a comment, click the 'Reply' link at the top right of that comment. You can edit your questions or solutions through the 'Improve Solution' link at the bottom, and you can edit a comment through the 'Modify' link, supplied by an icon to the right of the 'Reply' link.

i've started using visual c++ and learning windows apps programing on MSDN, and when they give you examples of some functions,or some thing like that they relly don't sey where to actualy put this sh*t.So could you give me couple of simple programs?

Solution 1

You may learn a bit more of C++ reading (studying) books and developing applications. There aren't shortcuts like tips & tricks for this.

Agree with you very much, my 5.

I also did not stand to say my word about it -- please see.

It calls for a whole book called "C++ tips and tricks". First, how could you expect posting such book in Quick Questions & Answers? Also, such book might exist, but this is not the best kind of literature on such topics. You need some education, not tips and not tricks — agree with CPallini.

The best advice I can give is to get some experience of your own. Consider a small project that you would like to work on and see if you can realize it with what you know of C++. If you encounter a roadblock, anything that you can't imagine how to solve, post a question about that and there will be plenty of people willing to help.

I suggest you don't use anything fancy in your first projects - just simple text input and output, or maybe reading from and writing to files. No graphics (yet), no databases, and no internet-related stuff (while other programming languages support the easy development of web apps, C++ is not one of them!)

After that add graphics. Check out tools to that end: e. g. Visual Studio provides a 'wizard' for creating windows- or dialog-based applications. (including tutorials) There are other tools, some of them free. Depending on your goals you might prefer one of those. Note that graphics functionality is not part of C++, that is why I advised against adding that from the start - it requires you to learn something in addition to C++ and may distract you from your goal to learn the language.

The same goes for databases or internet access: that is functionality which requires adding additonal libraries, and learning how to use them.
