c++ help
« on: 29 January 2008, 21:37:45 »
I am very proud to be a java programmer, but I would very much like to learn how to use the windows api in c++. Does anyone know where I could find a descent and complete windows c++ programming tutorial?

You don't want to learn the Windows API. :D If you are interested in working on Glest, there is almost no Windows API stuff at all except in the shared library, to keep it isolated.  The shared library exposes a platform-neutral API to the rest of the game (quite nicely I should add).

You can learn the windows API, but it is a pain, I think you should learn SDL first, it has a pretty basic window handling mechanism which is suitable for games.
