Stop here if you are only interested in points...
First of all, thanking you all in advance for the great job you all do on here. Its great to have a place where knowledge can be freely exchanged in a way that benefits everyone.
Up to date, I have learned the basics of C++, coming from a basic background. I can create basic functions, define variables and use them with basic and complex algorithms. I have an excelent understanding of the statements and cin/cout.
I once installed Microsoft Visual C++ and was overcome by its complexity, talk about jumping in at the deep end. I (after scouring the web for hours just to find a tutorial which didnt assume that you were already an expert), was able to construct a basic application which did nothing. A short time later I discovered the wizzard which would do this for you automatically in a heart beat. I went searching for a turorial to tell me how to put input controls in the application window and found a few (most were not helpfull at all), but whilst all of them would tell me how to put the control in the applications window, none of them would tell me where the input the user enters gets stored and how to access it for manipulation. This was very discouraging and put me off for a while.
The only problems I have is lack of viable resources and whilst most people are quick to snap at you about getting a "good book", thats all good and well but I do not have $60 to get a good book and the library in my area doesnt keep "good books". So I am limited to online resources.
(very long winded I know, I will cut to the chase)
I am a very competent web developer but I would like to also be a very competent games developer one day, is there anyone here interested in taking on the mamoth task of tutoring me in MFC?
