I guess I'm looking at just about anything, but I would like to create an app for a handheld device. In C, the data and code are separated. Thus, I hope to get over that hump soon. Right nowe though, it is the visual studio interface is confusing me. ie. When I create any kind of application, it creates a whole whack of files. Where do I put my code? A separate program? Part of the generated code?

I don't want to look stupid, but I am totally confused. I found a lot of Youtube videos, but it would take days if not weeks to get through them.

At present, I will create a game for my use. (Probably battleship, as this was my first programming foray in just about any language I know.)

I find a simple game, always help as it gives me looping, decision making, input, output, etc.

I am interested in C# as I am very proficient in C. I was hoping to use my knowledge of C to my advantage.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

TIA,
Mike

    How to get me started with C# or Javascript in Visual Studio 2012.

    I'm having a lot of time understanding the development interface.
    I have a lot of C experience, some C++ (embed devices).  In the
    development environment, I don't understand where the code goes.
    I am trying to write some libraries that I could use as wrappers
    around some functions.

    My main program will be just options, where deciding on the option
    triggers the desired result. (A switch: statement) All other code
    will either come from the library or from subroutines in the main
    code.

    In C, I have defined simple text files for defining screens etc.
    The wrapper function would build the screen based on the
    parameters in the text file.

    So, I guess I asking, how do I get a leg up and understand the
    interface. Every tutorial, seems to be expecting me to understand
    the interface.

I found better info as asp.net <http://asp.net/>
They have videos for free that will go over just what to do. That book is free on the internet but is out of touch with C# in it's current version, or how we work with C# today.

http://www.learnnowonline.com/learndevnow/
has a ton of video as well. Annual subscription is 79 or 99 and worth the price.

http://www.learnvisualstudio.net/ was my race to better coding and I got a lifetime for 99 but that was back in 2004-5.


To be honest most of what you know to do in VFP is built around how the engine works in VFP. Trying to do that with another language is difficult. VFP is CONNECTED to it's data and all other languages are disconnected, thus how you operate in code will have to change.

Are you interested in Winforms, web or handheld devices to start programming for?
