Hmm lil Help.

Ok so im basicly want to start learning java/c++ and all the besical programs, And im asking from you guys that know good toturials or know what better to learn to help me out and maybe give some tips.
So my question is what of these basic programming progmams should i learn as first one , i mean that she is the best to start with and if you can allso give me some tutorials about it.
Thnx and please do not spamm this theard.

 

well, first of you might want to ask you the question: What do I want to create? is it games? is it just any desktop application? is it maybe web sites?

Visual Basic .Net usually is considered a basic and easier language to start with... it's not the language you should consider if you want to be a game developer, more like desktop apps

C# (.Net) is more powerful than VB.Net and I wouldn't consider it as a game developer language either. It is possible to create web pages with C# (and VB.net for that matter) with Microsoft's Silverlight technology where you use XAML to write the mark up and C#/VB to create the interactivity.

Java I would say is pretty similar to C#, if you know C# you could probably create pretty much any basic app in Java and vice versa. Java is cross platform which C# and VB isn't (it can be, but I belive it's more complicated, I have never actually tried). Java I guess is pretty good for both game and apps. you maybe have played Runescape, which is written in Java

C++ is a very powerful language but then, it's harder to understand. programs like Photoshop (and all Adobes programs I guess) is mostly written in c++ and probably most games too

so, if you're patient you might want to jump right in to c++ but else you should chose Java (if you are now considering those two languages)

and if you want tutorials google them
if you want books check out the "for dummies" series...
and oh, programs:
Visual Studio (express edition if you don't wish to pay or can't figure out how to get around it) for VB/C#/C++
Eclipse or NetBeans for Java

Good luck

 

Thanks alot man, I guess ill try java at first, but im allways getting the compile problem so its anoing me. i followed the tutorial but the files just wont get compiled. ><
Well anyway i guess i should start with visual basic at first =]

 

ahah ok Good luck then, and i'm glad to help! just ask

 

thanks,But the thing i posted before. U had problem with compiling java files and thats why i kinda got mad on it and stoped learning it lol. I Tried to do the "hello world" and stuff but it couldnt get compiled. so kinda got me mad. and it still aint working lol.

 

ah sorry!

ok, first you'll need Java SE Development Kit 6. Download and install this
and then open notepad and write

Code:

class HelloWorldApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

Save as "HelloWorldApp.java" ANSI encoding

then open command promt and write:

cd [the path to your HelloWorldApp.java file] press enter
then if your JDK 6 installation path is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11 you can write: set PATH=%PATH%;c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin
and then: javac HelloWorldApp.java
and it will become a HelloWorldApp.class file which you can start by writing:
java HelloWorldApp.class and press enter

hope this helped.. I know this looks like shit cause i'm in a litle hurry so I don't have so much time!
ask if you need help! Good luck

 

lol thnx, You worte same thing as in my tutorial.
Its a problem with my computer. Just tryed to compile at friend home and it worked.
Did same thing as i do in my home.
Hate my old computer lol.

 

hehe ok
do you have msn? if so, add me and I can try to help you if you want
and haven't you considered a IDE? like NetBeans or Eclipse... you really should

 

Hmm this will sound kinda funny, But What is IDE?

 

:laugh:
IDE = Integrated Development Environment
it is a program where you create your application... so that you don't have to write in notepad... a IDE often has an compiler so it compiles the source for you... so you don't have to do it manually with command promt

 

oo lol i should use it then =]

 

yeah, get NetBeans or Eclipse
