I'VE JUST STARTED PROGRAMMING, WHICH I HAVEN'T DONE SINCE THE OLD BASIC.
I'VE CHOSEN C++ AS THE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE CHOSEN
THE RIGHT PATH .
MY AIM IS TO CREATE DATABASES FROM SCRATCH WITHOUT HAVING TO USE ACCESS.
WHAT I NEED IS INFORMATION ON C++, WHICH COMPILERS TO USE AND IF IT IS OK TO
START WITH C++ OR BETTER TO WITH A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE BEFORE PASSING TO C++.
CAN YOU ADVISE ME?

Do you have some problem with your "SHIFT"-Key?
For starting database programming, I would recommend C# and the
..NET-Framework, because the ADO.NET classes are easier that the C++
counterparts.
As development-environment I would either suggest the (currently free)
Visual C# Express 2005 Beta (or CTP) http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/expres...p/default.aspx
or Visual Studio 2003 http://msdn.microsoft.com/howtobuy/vstudio/
or, to use a free environment: Sharp-Develop: http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sd/
For C++ and database you can start with http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/
ado270/htm/mdmscusingadowi thmicrosoftvisu alc.asp
and many more ADO/C++ articles on the web.
As database I would suggest the free MSDE2000A or SQL Express Beta (for
non-production environment).

It is OK to start with C++.

I can't understand your answer. :-) C# is not tied with ADO .NET, that is, ADO .NET is not
part of the language.
C# language (more accurately C#/CLI) is just the syntax that takes advantage of a CLI
compliant VM machine (CLI is a standard). Its constructs map directly to the high-level
provided constructs of CLI, and does not provide something more than this.
For example if you know C# you can take advantage of Mono facilities (another CLI
compliant VM), like GTK#.
C++ on the other hand provides more than these (it comes with additional facilities of its
own).
So, there is not any "C++ counterpart" of ADO .NET. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
