Birthday Program

[NightJay0044]

Hi all, okay as my fist customized program. I want to make one that will allow me to do the following.

I want to make a program, where I type in the birthdays.
Persons name, and calculate how old they are currently,
and tell me when their birthday is. Even put reminders whenever I want and have windows little box appear by the notification area, just as a quick pop up?

I would like to write this in code, is this possible?

It is certainly possible in C++...but what do you mean by "unique interface"? Do you mean like a GUI (like a window that pops up etc) or just a console program?

[NightJay0044]

Yea or like OpenGL? This would be my first program. Customized anyways.

In that case, you would have to go get an external graphics library like OpenGL to make your windows and such. I'd suggest going to their website to find tutorials/installation instructions.

Alright I'll check it out, that looks like it would do it.

Cheers,

OpenGL is a bad choice for that, go for Qt ! http://qt.nokia.com/

And watch these tutorials, this guy is amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KtOzh0StTc
