Hello all! I've been doing console apps for about a year and a half now, but my requirements are reaching the limits of easy to use with ASCII-based UI and typed commands so I'm thinking of moving into GUI-era with my projects. I was wondering if some one could help me into the right

The .obj file, what is it?

2017-05-03 Thread I Lindström via Digitalmars-d-learn
So, a question from a beginner. What is the .obj file that appears after the source is compiled into the executable? I can't find a good explanation on the Net for it. I take it the file has to accompany the executable for the program to function since the online explanations I've found say it

Thanks all. Your answers gave me a lot more confidence in starting. What I've always found to be the hardest is to know what you can do, and that's what I use books for. "Can" in the sense of what's possible and how. These forums and the docs on the site have given me a pretty decent idea

How to continue after the book?

2017-03-28 Thread I Lindström via Digitalmars-d-learn
After getting the basics down, how did you continue when learning programming in general? I do have a need for which I've been trying out a few languages and D seems by far the best for me. Should I just start doing that project and learn as I go by googling and asking here, or are there
