This is to anyone who wishes to learn the C++ programming language. Some reasons why you should learn the C++ language because it is very popular, it is easy to get the hang of, it can work as a high level and a low level language. *C++ is considered a high level language)

First some differences between High level and Low Level languages:
»Low level languages (like ASM) work as directly interfacing with hardware, memory, videocard, processor, that sort of stuff.
»High level languages, like VB and C++ you are given much more flexibility (but less control) over your applications.
»Low level programming consumes MUCH more time when programming, you must think out your ideas carefully and I tell you, debugging ASM is a BITCH!
»The most significant advantage to programming in ASM is the control, you can modify memory like a snap, you can control hardware the way YOU want to, and it usually ends up running more effecient than a High level language.
»High level languages are easier to learn, they use symbols and indentifyers to help you keep track of what is happening, it is object oriented.

High level programming is usually faster to accomplish because when you compile your program, the compiler converts it to assembly language (ASM) for you. Which I will explain next day.

During the next few C++ lessons, you will learn the basics of the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler and how to compile simple and operating programs. You will learn some memory management, and hopefully have fun too...
You will become a l33t h4x0r!

So, your project for today is to get the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler and install it (you can mess around with it too
