How many people here still develop apps in Win32 with C/C++?

All right, we're at 4 now! :laugh::laugh:

Just curious, how many people here still develop apps in Win32 with C/C++? Not WinForm or even MFC, I mean good old fashion WIN32 API with C/C++. Anyone?

I still use C++. My projects have to maintain a "common code base" across UNIX, Linux, and Win32 (and Win64...), and Java is out of the question, for various reasons (like I hate it...) There are some platform-specific modules, etc., but as much as possible is "vanilla" C++ objects.

Some of my friends do it. i can count atleast 3 of them. Including me, it becomes 4 and the total count is 8!!:)
Wow, all this is just too much. :laugh: Glad it's not completely dead yet.

Do you use some fancy tool to build your gui and write all of the database interface code and the communications layer between your clients and servers??? Have you ever written your own memory allocator??? or forgone standard library calls for file access and wrote the code to read the disk sectors yourself??? Have you ever done any serious work using COBOL, RPGII, PASCAL, C ??? If you answered Yes, No, No, No, do you seriously consider yourself to be a programmer!!!???? Perhaps the dev tools of today have replaced the need for behind the scenes, hardcore programming. But is it really programming???
Yes, I consider myself to be a programmer (I don't work in programming though). I use Visual Studio to design my GUIs in, as I don't really see the need to code it (since this takes away time to work on the actual application) and I write my own database & communications code. I haven't had the need to write my own code to read disk sectors myself yet, so I use the standard library calls. If I ever need to, however, I'm sure I'll figure it out. I've never used COBOL, never heard of RPGII and I didn't like Pascal. I learned C years ago, and before that I learned Z80 Assembly language on my old Amstrad CPC. So, I've done quite a bit of in-depth programming, so, even though I now use VCS 2005 I don't think that makes me any less of a programmer.

I'm actually working on learning how to right now. :)
