C++ ,c++????
C++ is not a Windows PC language only. It is an utterly general language with compilers that target (almost) every (programmable) device and OS known to man. It is not surprising that a good, general introduction to C++ would not discuss or even mention Windows or PCs. C++ can be run on PCs, servers, mid-range, and mainframe boxes.





If your interest is Windows PC programming in C++, try:

You can get a bare-bones Visual C++ development tool from Microsoft at:

www.cs.sjsu.edu/faculty/pearce/mfc/ (Microsoft Foundation Classes, an older technology use to interface the windows api from c++)





en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++/CLI --a good starting point to learn about c++/cli, MS's new c++ flavor geared toward the .NET platform.





But if you really want to program windows, start looking into c#. It is based on c and c++. You will learn it in a flash. Then you can program windows through the .NET framework, where much of the windows API has been made easy to work with.
Reply:C++ is very powerful programming language . don't you know that they embed it on IC's .
