Hello world or C++ people
Hi,
My name is renny and I am 67 years old, or young. I been programing for 20 years. Just not in C++, so now that I have the time to learn C++ I am going to try. I am using VC++6, I know it is old, but so am I, that is what I have. I paid for it many years ago and have yet learn to use C++. But now is the time for me to do it. I been making games in DBP and FPSC for years now and want to move on to C++. So that is my story, I hope to meet alot of nice people here.One of my problems is all ready sloved (the hello program window open and close so fast that you can't see it). The QandA I found here the very frist thing.

VC++6 was created (just) before the first C++ standard was ratified. It was already obsolete in 1998, it's doubly obsolete in 2011.
Get Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition, it is free: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-cpp-express

I highly encourage getting the Express edition of Visual C++ Express 2010, or Code::Blocks. The differences between using a modern compiler and an totally obsolete one are huge.

Well I am 70 years old. Been programmer for long long time.
Get Express edition. Put cursor on last executable line of code, usually a return;, hit F9. Puts a breakpoint on this line and VS will stop before executing line. F10 to step "0"ver a line and F11 to step "1"nto a subroutine.

67-70 years old should be toying with assembly and COBOL during their programming career years isn't it ? I am curious to know.
Thank you all, I will be around. I am an ele eng, so last night I make a small program for ohms law. I still need to make some type of a menu for it but it works very nice.

@sadsack:
Forgive me, but I don't believe you. Your lack of spelling and capitalization skills leads me to believe you are not, in fact, a professional anything. Please prove me wrong. You must understand that anyone on the internet can pretend to be anything else.
I actually think you happen to be a troll we've been seeing a lot of around these parts- mostly because anyone in your particular situation would normally post on the beginner's forum.

I don't see why someone should lie about something so trivial. I think you're overreacting.
I think your post is completely unfounded tbh. I don't see anything that would imply that he's a troll.

| frist |
| nice |
Now there's the foundation of my post. It is not completely unfounded, because there are ground on which I based my accusation. Again, I would love to be proven wrong. My problem is someone with >20 years of programming experience better as hell be able to spell, a 67 year old on the internet should know how to spell- simply because he's into technology which means he's a pretty smart guy for his age. I directly equate intelligence with spelling and grammar. Now I could be way off base here, and I hope I am. But there lies the accusation.
May have proven myself wrong:

The best part of all of this is that gamecodez wasn't half as bad as spoonlicker was. Maybe a tenth.
However, is it just me, or is everyone a little bit more sensitive after gamecodez than after spoonlicker?

Apologies for the lack of something which is still lacking.
