The Lord of the Strings
I used to write in Turbo C++ 3 for DOS waaaay back, then moved to
writing C in 32 bit windows using the standard windows api. I took a
many years off to pursue my musical career and now I'm realizing that
if I want to code again I should look at a newer library/api.
I took some win32 C code that worked fine in Visual C++ 6 and tried
compiling it in Visual C++ Express 2008 and it did not compile. I
checked all dependencies - includes, libraries - they were all there.
I noticed the copyright on VC++ 6 was 1998, so I think its time for
something new! I'd like to stick with C/C++.
C/C++ would still be my language of choice, but I'm not sure what the
modern options are besides C# and Java. I'm interested in developing
gui and console based applications (no web apps).
Any suggestions considering my background?
(As you can see I'm about 15 years behind...)
MFC? COM? Borland BDE?
Thanks!
