Title: C++
Post by: TitanEG on August 18, 2008, 12:00:53 PM
Hello folks!
   I'm beginning a project in building a robot.  I getting my materials ready and will most likely emulate the $50 robot.  My question for future reference is this: can one use C++ as a programming language for the software end of projects?  I am learning C++ and am a beginner but I have become fairly comfortable with the language.
Thanks!

Also if you are using C++ a lot of C syntax will be familiar.

if you're allready learning C++, C shouldn't be hard at all. I've been studying C++ for a long time too.
The only difference is, you (most of the time) can't use all the OOP you learned while during C++, for example
C doens't have classes and stuff.

@sotu
there are a lot of tutorials on:
cplusplus, use this one first (http://www.cplusplus.com)
cprogramming, use this complement the knowledge of the first site AFTER you've finished it (http://www.cprogramming.com)

Oh, and if you ever have any questions, you can offcourse post them here, if they're robot-related, but
at gamedev (http://www.gamedev.net) they have a couple of very good forums with a lot of C++ programmers that can help you out. This forum IS game-developer related however.
