If so, please tell why Asked by Alex (89.207.47.x) on October 12 2009, 11:37pm Reply on October 13 2009, 8:28pm: I don't think you can have a "best" OS.. that'd be like having a "best" guitar.. I like a lot of things about Windows. The Win32 API has a lot to like, especially on x64. Really what it comes down to, though, is that it doesn't get in my way, unlike pretty much any other OS.

Comment... Question: Thanks for the Qt suggestion! What do you mean by "plain-w32" though? I'm new to C++; all I've done is read a book & do problems Asked by Aceofhearts (82.94.180.x) on October 6 2009, 11:59pm Reply on October 7 2009, 12:52pm: Some links: WinMain DialogBox (Not that this is nearly enough, but you can build applications using APIs like these. :) Comment...

Question: I learned basic theory and simple examples of C++. How do I progress to writing practical programs (e.g. Winamp)? Asked by Aceofhearts (208.53.157.x) on October 6 2009, 1:55am Reply on October 6 2009, 3:52pm: There are plenty of ways you can go.. Some might say the easiest are toolkits like Qt, which is probably preferable if you want to build things fast, and don't mind having a biggish runtime etc. The alternative (in my mind) is to program plain-win32, which, as a newbie, may be hellish. Maybe someday I'll finish my vanilla-win32 primer. Comment... Question: What programming language: Do you use most? Did you write Waste with? That you feel is most powerful?
