Hi...
I'm just trying to make a start on Visual C++ but I find the MSDN help very laborious, tedious and distracting - it doesn't seem to get to the point but is forever leading you off to read things that, sure, are interesting but are so deep and so many that you'll be a top guru before you get your hello world written.
So I go for tutorials and I've worked my way slowly through the Scribble thing twice now and it still won't compile error free.
When I try to debug it by matching my code with their samples I find too many differences - i.e. not covered by the tutorial text.
Questions:
1. Other folks agree about the MSDN help?
2. Where is a good place to start?
3. Is this a known fact with the Scribble thing or is it for sure me that's wrong?
regards,
abrogard.
