Harvard’s CS50 (Introduction to computer science) is available for free on edx.org. It starts with Scratch and goes on to C the second week. Excellent lectures by David Malan and lots of weekly exercises you can do and submit for review that will give you a solid foundation to build on.
thank you very much, i’ll take a look.
What, you want to join the development? It’s the same. I hope to get my nex browser soon jajaja.
Take a look at https://www.codedex.io/cpp it’s a great gamified way you can run through fundamentals that ramp up to more complex scenarios and bridge the gap to where you want to be
thank you very much, i’ll take a look at it later.
For pointers in particular, this seems like a good starting point: https://sites.cs.ucsb.edu/~mikec/cs16/misc/ptrtut12/pointers.htm
As for compiling for old C/C++ versions, fortunately most compilers can be set to restrict what standard they will compile for. So you could turn the compiler all the way back to something like C99 and it should work, although you’ll have to avoid using modern syntax.
That said, with regards to compiling for an old platform, be advised that complete and functional toolchains will be harder to come across. They may not even work anymore, if they haven’t been upkept. That’s another complexity that you may have to deal with, and it will no doubt be aggravating, than working with a modern platform but limiting yourself to only older C/C++ standards and graphics libraries.
Basically, the starting effort is quite high for developing for older targets. Be certain that this is the direction you want to start with.
I’ll take a look later.
As for the compiler… well, someone has already passed me tools to program in symbian, and they seem to work well, there are more people in symbian than it seems at first. Not too many people, though.
You should start with C before going into C++. This is because C is the simplest possible language that exposes you to pointers and memory management. That’s the most important foundational skill you need in low level languages like this.
You could learn memory management using C++, but there are a lot of distractions, and the modern features designed to make memory management easier may make it harder/confusing for someone starting at the beginning.
My advice: follow a modern tutorial for C and SDL (on your PC, not that N95), and use it to make a simple game or UI with SDL’s drawing API. Actually aim to finish something (even if it sucks) and you’ll learn a lot.
thank you very much for the advice. The book I use to learn teaches C and C + + at the same time. See what I can do with the pointers.
So, modern sdl doesn’t change much of sdl 1.2? Because if that’s the case I’m trying to use some sdl 2 tutorial, by proximity, I think there’s more of this in my language.
hey, yeah, I’m sorry about that. I’m a fan of obsolete devices, how do you think I get to Symbian in the first place?
I’m aware of how different c + + of c + + symbian is, which I try in most cases only to resort to “apps.”
Do you have any advice from that time? I mean, how do you not do this structure that usually leads to crasheos, or use this graphic library, that I know.
okay, thank you so much, i’ll take a look at it and see if i can do anything with it, if the answer is yes, i’ll show you what i get.
