A Lack of Patience
I have a distinct lack of patience with C++ & Win32 App development. It’s the common method of Windows App development from what I’ve seen, but damn.
It’s probably my VB6/VB.NET roots showing here, but doing app layout and etc in the code feels ass-backwards and slow. I’m new to Win32 coding so I may be missing something, but I’m pretty convinced at this point I’m just too impatient to invest time into something I feel should be handled WYSIWYG. Hardcore C/C++ coders are probably chortling to themselves right now, going “Hurr hurr newbie”.
Anyhow, I’ve downloaded and installed Visual C# 2008 EE from Microsoft and I’ll see how app development goes in that. I have a firm grasp of C syntax, and I have a book on C# if the need arises, so I’ve got high hopes for this.
Next post I’ll hopefully have something to show.
