hey im new to C++, i know how to program somewhat, with variables, loops, ifs, functions, I/O stream library, the basics. but im wondering where can i find libraries that i want, for example one for passing data over the internet, and how am i supposed to learn how to use those keywords in the library? any help is apreciated, thanks!

ok bud, here's the way it works, C++ it's being out-dated as we speak, now it's C# pronounced (c sharp), wanna learn it, check out this site csharphelp wanted to learn from more than a website, try some of these books check them out here

i hope this helps you out a little bit, my understanding is that C# is internet friendly programming...check it out :)

i wouldnt quite say its being outdated till it becomes more used, you know, like not the standard anymore.

now, telling him C# is internet friendly, is one thing, potentially pushing him outta the C++ programming, is another.

QBASIC LIVES, MY FRIENDS! but umm yea.... outdated?

[nighthawk]

aye aye aye, i can never please you people can i?

[supersloth]

just pointing out, it is FAR from being outdated.

if microsoft has their way about it, it won't be long before C# and .net is it...

i dont know if you noticed it, but the thing people like about c++, is that its easily ported to many systems. i.e. screw mircosoft.

Nighthawk, don't tell people things that aren't true. C# isn't meant to (nor will it ever) replace C/C++. C# is Microsoft's answer it Java, not C/C++. Since Microsoft lost the court battle over its ability to manipulate Java they've made their own variety.

Secondly, C# may _never_ become a widely used language. Microsoft's implementation isn't even officially released, how can you be saying that it's the future?

i was just relaying information that i learned...

so deos C# have all the keywords and stuff for input output that C++ has in libraries right in the language? and can C# do all the stuff C++ can like 3d and games and databases?

Down with C#!

eagle: i dont have much experience, so dont take what i say as fact, but i dont think C# can do all of that stuff. Like null and void said, its more of microsofts answer to Java.

hmmm, cool so all my learning C++ may not have been for nothing. thanks for the help guys, but where can i find some good libraries to downlaod and how do i learn em?

[supersloth]

for that, i would try www.programmersheaven.com its a great place. i go there sometimes. there might be more people with more experience with that.
