Any one here have a job in c++ programming?

I have been learning the basics and making small programs that use dos prompt. How do you create actual software that has text boxes, submit buttons etc like microsoft word, excel for e.g.?

C/C++ are system-level programming languages, what that means is your going to be working directly with operating systems, hardware drivers, device drivers, or anything else that's system related then you should learn C and then learn C++ (Which is Object Oriented C++) .





If you're planning on doing application level programming (writing programs for windows/ mac /linux) while you still can use C/C++ its much easier and you'll be more productive learning something like Visual Basic .NET, or Java or some other application programming languages.





You need to determine what you want to do and then apply the best programming language.. Below is a general guideline.





C/C++ : Systems Level programming, Operating systems, hardware , API's etc.


.NET /C# : Windows Application programming


JAVA : Middle-ware , corporate programming


PHP, ASP , CFM: Web site, web applications





Good luck
Reply:You can do it with MFC and C++, but it's tricky. If you want to make simple Windows apps, get Visual Studio (the Express version is free) and learn C#. There are tutorials in Visual Studio which will walk you through the creation of a simple Windows Forms application.





However, you are starting out the right way. If you start using visual design tools that generate a lot of code for you, you won't learn how to write it yourself, and you won't understand what the design tool is actually doing and how and why it's generating the code. Then when you have problems, you won't be able to solve them because you won't know what your program is doing in the first place. I blogged about what to learn a while back:

Reply:Looks like you want to create a GUI. Try Visual C++. It allows you to create a GUI with C++ running at the back end.
