Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I just wasn't sure where to put it.

Well I got the c++ for dummies book and I don't know where to start.

Im confused because it tells you to create a consol application and it says in the new project dialog box,click the console application found in the basic tab.
Make sure that the c++ project radio button in the lower-right area is selected.If it isn't, then select ut and select the make default language checkbox.

I don't know where to get that?:confused:
 
Im just starting with it so I don't really think I have a goal on what I wanna do with it just yet. In the book it shows doing like math equasions and such at the begining and all. but I don't know where to create the console application.

Cromewell, It came with a cd and I think it has a couple compilers on them and has things that say create variable and all that. Id be good if someone had this book as well so it be easier.
 
Well I think the "dummies books" are stupid books, next time try and get a C++ book with a bit more class.

Did you know you can join a C++ Email group and ask all the questions that come up? you could post a bit of code here on say, it asks for two numbers multiples it and gives you the ansswer, and we could help you get off step one.
 
Just say what program do you wanna do and I can help you understand it well.
But you have to try to write code yourself even if it's wrong. and then post it here and I will correct it and help you understand.

Ah I feel stupid for this but everyone has to start somewhere Im assuming.

I don't really know what programs and things you can do as I just started reading the book and im only on page 40. But if you don;t mind what kinda things can you do?
 
I can do a lot of things in C++.
Don't worry about me.
I'll give you some simple programs to start with and if you need help feel free to PM me.
1-Add-Subtract-Multiply-Divide two numbers.
2-Input information from user(Name, Age, Job, Salary, Tel., Fax, Address, .....etc) and then display them on the screen.
