Hello. I'm a absolute beginner at programming, but have a final class project that I'd like to begin working on nice and early. What I'd like to build is a Visual C++ program that will: 1. Take user input from a windows gui (text boxes, drop down menus, etc.) 2. Insert the input into the...

Thanks for the tip, but I'm still confused as to the which steps to take to get my existing .cpp file imported. All I want to do is open a single .cpp file from the lab CD and compile it. In VS 6 that's only about 2 steps, open file, then compile. In 2005 it's like a maze of solutions and...

I'm a complete beginner to programming and have started taking an intro to programming course at the local college. The language used for the class is C++, and in the computer lab Visual Studio 6 is used. However, I was able to get a copy of Visual Studio .NET 2005 from work to use at home...

Yes, I definitely plan to supplement with certs along the way as well. And speaking of continuing education, do you guys have any recommendations for books that would be good for someone like myself? Specifically, I'd like to start with two things: 1. Something that covers general programming...

From the way it sounds so far, perhaps I should focus on getting some solid training in C++ and Java, then add on from there. Also, some of the required courses include Database Programming w/Oracle, Intro to UNIX, Computer Organization and Machine Language and Systems Admin & Design. The...

I first ask you what do you like the most? You could focus on that and become specialized in it." Well, I really haven't been exposed enough to programming to really know just yet, especially with regards to what languages are best for what areas. But I like to be creative, so the idea of...

Being a newbie, I'm not familiar with some of the terminology yet. What would be examples of "procedural" languages? Would something like Visual Basic fall into that realm, whereas C and Java languages are object-oriented? And if I focus on one language in particular, and take it to the...

Hey folks. I've decided to enroll for an Associates in Applied Science in Programming. The intro course defaults to C++ so I'll be starting there. From that point I can pretty much decide which languages/technologies to focus on. The choices are for the most part: C++ Java C# Visual Basic...

Hello all. I've decided it's time for a career change. I have a BA in Government, and will be going back to get a second BA in Computer Science. I'd like to focus on programming, but am a bit unsure of where to focus my attention on. I was wondering if you guys might be able to provide some...
