i didnt think it should be in the cafe, i thought to make a halo 2 program it should be in the halo 2 discussion thread

A program to mod Halo 2 I'm assuming, in the Halo 2 Discussion description it says not modding related.

Don't learn VisualBasic. It's a pretend language that you'll only ever use to make easy forms/GUIs.
Here's just some C++ links that I dug up:
C++ Language Tutorial
C++ Maniac
Mathtools C++
While websites can be helpful (especially as references) there's really no substitue for a good old fashioned book. I have 'Begginers Guide to C++' (Really outdated, shows you how to set up the compiler on Windows 3.1, but overall a good read) and 'C++ For Dummies' which is better.
Right now high school Computer Science classes are in java, which is pretty good if you want to go heavy into Object Oriented Programming. But they don't really teach enough about heavier stuff like recursion and pointers to be as effective, so C++ should be a good place to start.

Thank You, This Is What I Have Been Looking For

dude thats not true yes vb may not be as powerful as some languages but it is pretty powerful

The_Hushed_Casket · Post by **The_Hushed_Casket** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 11:05 pm

It's rarely used in the real world. I think it's better to learn a more mainstream language like C++, once you know one language, you can easily learn others.

dude again your wrong alot of people use vb and i didnt say use it for ever i said use it to get a better understanding

You might see some homebrew software made in VB but I would be willing to wager that if you went into proprietary software developers who make software to sell, you probably wouldn't find VB very often. I know that lots of people use it to make software for hobby type things (Like Halo 2 editing programs) but in my opinion C++ is just more powerful and it's not that hard to learn with. (Although it's object system is a joke)
