Okay, I hope this is the right forum as this is the first time I post topic here, though I've been reading these forums quite a while.
I've been thinking about trying start learning programming, namely try to develop simple graphics engine, which I would develop further and further as my skills would get better and better.
I was thinking about using either VisualC++ 6.0 or VisualC++.NET (which one would you prefer?), or is there better program for this?
I've never really done anything complex, I took some C classes last year, but that's about it, of course I'm familiar with (Visual)Basic 'till somepoint, but I believe it's rather irrelevant when talking about using C++
What guides would be the best to read before starting?
Any other tips?
