Help me about my project
I would like to write a C++ console based file manager from scratch.
I'm a student of computer science in a 2nd year.. and have been working on C++ for almost 1.5 years..
I've grip on algorithms and how to implement them in C++ also I've done much of practice problems and exercises of text books
I never did any system programming in C++.
I've mostly dealt with just console based applications so far, GUI programming is new to me, so I just don't know where exactly to begin nor where to go from there.
To sum it up, I need some guidance to know the path of least resistance of where to start when writing a file manager. What do I read first? What do I write first? What should I write last?
I don't even know if I can do this or not..
Sorry for the question being so vague, I am just really confused.
Thanks

Wow, vague is right! Start at the beginning and at least define on paper the functionality you want in your app.
And if this is you too... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24717599/how-to-write-a-file-manager
... might I humbly suggest that you sets your sights a little lower until your Linux and C++ skills are up to a task like this. ;-)
