You're right there.. We're really spoilt here Thanks to everybody for thier help so far in this, despite it all being simple stuff at the moment I am enjoying what I am doing for sure.

Have been looking through this thread and I think, if everyone is still learning/progressing, that I'll tag along. I used C++ a little a few years back when I was involved in, for better or worse, some things  but have gracefully forgotten absolutely everything useful.

I'm a regular PHP developer so the syntax is similar for me. Have been looking through the DX SDK for the past few days and grabbed a couple of eBooks. So will be interesting to see what's possible at a basic level


Using VS 2005.

@Emp:
Cool. Keep us informed about your progress ... and good luck!

Nice to know that someone else is following this thread Emp, it's not dead, I will be posting more of my shit in here soon I've had to take a little bit of a break from it for a couple of weeks because of other stuff.

I've been reading up on functions and classes, still really basic stuff, I've just not booted up C++ for a while. Please do feel free to tag along, hopefully I'll learn something more from you too.

Right, Shocky. I was also wondering when you post your next steps. Don't give
it up! The IDE is running, you successfully wrote your first programms - don't
stop it now!!!
