Basic C++...
-
I want to learn more of C++ but at a lower level(???), a point where it is not so platform specific. Where would look or what would I search for to learn a cross-platform version of C++. I enjoy C# and VB.NET is so so. And I have written many apps. in VC++ but I want to learn it where I can knowledgible write an app for Windows and turn around be able to do on other platforms. Does anybody understand what I am trying to ask?

I am not perfect but I try to be better than those before me. So those who come after me will be better than I am. -

You want to learn standard C++. A good starting point is "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrop. Beyond that, a good point is to ask in the right forum, this one is for .NET C++, you want the Visual C++ forum. Note, standard C++ has no GUI libraries at all, the moment you want a UI, you want platform specific ( probably MFC ). But, it's good even in an MFC app to use standard stuff like list, vector, ifstream, string, etc.

I knew you would help, thanks.

So those who come after me will be better than I am.A lot of people seem to miss the sticky at the top of the forum that explains it, and just not know what the CLI means. I'm only telling you because more people will see your posts in the right forums. This forum is a ghost town, I just come here to redirect people to the right forum, and not many people ask or answer C++/CLI questions.
