Intro to C++ - Part 3
OK, I have been slacking on this series. No Justice, thats a *BAD* Justice!. I have a coldfusion product going into alpha this week after more than a year of development, so what can I say =) Now on to more C++ goodness!

Intro to C++ - Part 2
Last week we went over the basics of configuring your IDE and compiling your first program. I have class this evening, but I wanted to point you to a resource that I will be developing as I go through this class. The CfCode C++ Blog Series is basically a listing of all posts in the series, as well as an example C++ program with what I hope are good comments throughout of what is going on. In today's iteration of this example document, I go over declaring constant variables, using cin and cout to accept input and provide output respectively. I define several data types, and show you how to evaluate expressions and place the result onto the screen. This example document also introduces static_cast to force a result to a specific data type. You can always find the latest version of my example document at http://www.cfcode.net/blog/page.cfm/c-series, or you can browse back through prior posts like this one to see the code as it grows. More tonight after class!
Intro to C++ - Part 1
So last night was my 1st night of C++ class, and I want to try and pass on what I learn in a blog series. I'm a total newb as far as C++ goes, but if you want to learn as I go this may help! The majority of our first class was just intro, talking about computer basics, and only in the last 45 minutes or so did we really get into coding, and we did a simple 'display some output' app.
From Coldfusion to Java or C++: Any advice?
I have been coding coldfusion for about 7 years now, since I first got the Coldfusion Express edition and learning kit when it was still owned by Alliare. Next week I start 2 new classes at school, Java I and C++ I (with JAVA II and C++ II the following semester) Does anyone have any advice for me? I have at least been exposed to Java in my CF travels, but I have done little else in C++ than compile a 'hello world application. I know Java has many frameworks, is there one that would be more useful to learn over another one? How about C++, are there frameworks out there (I'm sure there are, I just have never been exposed yet).
I'm a big fan of Eclipse, and feel very comfortable within it. Can I work just as easily in Eclipse with C++ as I do with CF or Java? What are the best plugins for Java or C++ work?
Thanks anyone for advice you can offer!
