Web C++
I know it's not the right tool for the job, but If I can get around having to use C# or java, I'd very much enjoy doing so.
I'm writing (currently designing) a web based media player that plays videos and music and such from your local machine. What is the advantage of this you may ask? The ability to access your music straight from your web browser. I know many have done this before me, but I don't feel any one has done it the way I would, and I want the challenge.
SO Short story long, is it possible to make a web application in c++? I think i've heard of this around the way some where

First lol @ your 666 posts! Back to the topic, I know C++ can be use to make dynamic webpages but I'm not sure about web base applications. I saw a video before on youtube discussing about using C++ in their flash technology but I didn't try it.

My other thought is that you develop a browser plugin.

I've made very simple dynamic pages with C++. It is certainly doable. The are small CGI libs to make it easier. And you could go completely native by embedding your own server with Boost Asio.
I'm about to google, and if I find some good links on what you've posted I'll edit with them, but in the case I don't for others interested, links to C++/CGI stuff?
edit: not QUITE what I was looking for, but still amazingly useful for my task. Thank you guys. I'll post the source (probably java for the application [applet] and c++ with cgi for the dynamic page) in the lounge for those of you who want to have a look.

I haven't use any external libraries with C++/CGI for dynamic webpages. BTW, I think this website is developed with C++, not sure. The idea is that whatever you cout goes to the html file.
But I guess it is far from "The ability to access your music straight from your web browser." You will need some kind of platform like Flash or Java to do that, but let's wait for others opinion.

well heres the thing, I could write a platform to do it in c++. But the only reason I'd be doing anything in c++ is for ease of familiarity. The key here is ease. I know I said I want a challenge, but only in the topic of media programming. also writing a platform to do this in c++ would be one HELL of a challenge. xD
