I am going to start from the introduction of C++ programming and I will explain how to  work with Visual Studio 2012 express. I am sure; it will be very helpful for those who are really struggling with C++ programming.

When it is the first time running Visual Studio, it will display a window for you to choose the language to be used.  Make sure you select Visual C++

File -> New -> Project

Make sure Visual C++ is selected under Installed Templates

Make sure Win32 Console Application is selected

Enter the name of the project without spaces

Click OK

The Welcome to the Win32 Application Wizard window will be displayed

Click Next (do not Click Finish yet)

Make sure the following is selected:
Console application
Empty project
Precompiled header

Click Finish

Once the project is created you need to create the .cpp file

On the Solution Explorer window, right click on the name of the project -> Add -> New Item

Select C++ File (.cpp)

Name the file

Click Add

If you can’t see the Solution Explorer window then View -> Solution Explorer

 

Now, it is ready to create a code.

Already lost? Does programming drive you crazy?

 

 No more fear to create program code 

             It is really depressing when we lose our inspiration in the beginning of any challenging task. Programming is very challenging for his/her who is completely new in this field.  I had a bad experience when I took first programming class. I struggled a lot to get that crazy programming. Unfortunately I finished that course with an F grade, but I didn’t want to give up. Why I struggled too much than others? I found the reason. The reason was I had lack of basic programming language. I learned programming language as the same way that I learned alphabet in my childhood. Finally I finished up that course with an A.

The goal of this blog is to introduce you with the programming language from very basic and prepare you as a great programmer.

                                                     

 Programming is a playground where you play with programming code.  

Prepare  yourself as a good player and become a great programmer.
