- Howdy, I'm just starting out to try and learn some C++ for some
- applications I would like to work on. I saw what I thought I a pretty
- decent deal in a local computer store - "The Game Programming Starter Kit".
- It comes with 2 CDs of source code for 2D games and Microsoft Visual C++
- 1.0 Professional edition. (Compiler and CodeView debugger for DOS and
- Windows.)
- I have done a bit of programming in Turbo Pascal, Modula 2, and even
- Apple Basic... I know a bit about a few different languages, but not an
- extensive ammount about any one in particular.
- I am planning to use C++ to program a few simple Windows 3.1 programs,
- and a few simple DOS mathematical programs. (And if I have time, I may play
- around with some of the source code included with the Game Programming
- part).
- Will Microsoft Visual C++ 1.0 Professional edition be adequate, or
- should I take it back and get something a little better. (Bear in mind,
- this is not for an expert, extensive programmer, but for a moderate
- programmer that just wants to 'test the water', so to speak).
- Thanks for any and all help!
