C++ N00B seeks guidance

Hi all,

The only programming experience i have under my belt so far is VB. I'm
just starting out on C++ and wonder if anybody suggests and good (free)
starting points for me to get going. I'm wondering about tutorials,
source code, etc... Stuff that will take me from absolute square 1.

Also, which compilers would be suggested? i have the bloodshed one and
microsoft's visual studio express version as well. Are there any
others that are worth using? User friendly (as far as programming
goes)? Any info to get me pointed in the right direction would be
appreciated. Thanks!

The FAQ for this newsgroup is a good place to explore:

Yes, visual studio is pretty good and for linux/unix of course the gnu g++
compiler.

I'd like to overwrite just one line of a binary file, based on a position set by seek(). Is there no way to do this? As far as I can tell I need to read the whole file, change the line, and write it all back out. Not exactly easy on the memory, but I see no other solution. so far: patchme.seek(offset) patchme.write(a2b_hex(edit)) # the data is in hex first patchme.close

I have a file that I open a FileStream and a StreamReader for. I issue a SEEK and read a series of records. I then issue another SEEK, no errors, but when I issue the read it picks up where the first read stopped. I have to close the FileStream and the StreamReader, reopen them and then issue the second SEEK. I tried issuing a FLUSH before the second SEEK but the results were the same.

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
