i dunno, when i look at the code for windows programming, stuff in c++, it seems really different from the stuff in my computer science classes.... is it relatively easy to switch over in practice?
 
actually its a little tough but not too bad, just be solid in you fundamentals and you'll pick it up in no time.
 
First time I saw a Windows program in C++, I was like, "what is this sh!t?"
But most of that stuff is all the same for every program, so you just keep it in a file and cut and paste it in.
Java is way way easier for OOP and GUI stuff, though.
 
gopunk, is it the same as Visual C++?


Anyway, even for C++, get a book from this author: Ivor Horton. I have a VC++ book by him. Thumbs up.
 
A LOT of code in Windows programming is re-usable. If you use MFC (VC++), it's really easy to create GUI apps. I always say this: Win32 has the richest, and perhaps the easiest api of all other Operating Systems (IMO).
