C++ Online Tut's (Win)

Does anyone know any good, free, tut's on C++ with windows?

www.cpp-home.com has a large variety of tutorials for all sorts of things. if your new to C++ don't start by windows though. start with windows in console mode

What's Console mode...becuz as you can see I am new..lol

ah ok, you are the c++ n00b (so am i actually, but hey)
i found this tutorial particulalry well written:
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/index.html

don't skip any chapters!

You know the dos-prompt?? Programmers call it a console. Before we had the GUI (explained in your other thread), operating systems (unix) were completely console based, no 'shell' (google (http://www.google.com) it ;))..

if your a dab hand at linux its easier to prgrame GUI's as oyu can get a hello world GUI in a few lines of code comapred to 80 lines of code.

Well, you can use other GUI libraries for Windows. And there are some good wrappers out there.

Like, my newest wrapper which I call MCC++ ... This sets up the whole program --

APP guimagic;
int WINAPI WinMain ( HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpArg, int nCmdShow ) {

if ( !Init ( hInstance ) ) {

MessageBox ( NULL, "Init() failed.", "Error", MB_OK );
return false;
}

guimagic.SetCyclePtr ( Cycle );
guimagic.SetBkColor ( GetSysColorBrush( COLOR_WINDOW ) );
guimagic.Init ( "GUI:APP", "GUI Magic - [None]", CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 800, 550,
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, HWND_DESKTOP );

}

Could even be a little more condensed or expanded, there are more functions I can call but that is just what I have at the moment.

Creating any GUI object is done in a single line. And it's really good at geometry calculation stuff, like making controls span and align is done with member function calls and stuff.. But it still lets you have direct access on the API level as well, very thin wrapper but it makes developing for windows much easier.
