Hi

Are there any good starter guides or tutorials on programming in MorphOS. I am an okish java developer but do not have any c or C++ experience. I have downloaded the SDK but not any easy help there.

Any help thanks

You might also want to look into some generic C(++) tuturials or books.

Thanks for the site link. Any recommendations on a c(++) book. ?

If you really just need a reference/introduction to the languages and allready know how to code, you should just start with the obvious Kernighan/Ritchie (C) or Stroustrup (C++).

If you also need some coding lessons you have a wide choice from "..... for Dummies" to books discussing special purpose algorithms.

There is numerous free PDF for learning C programming. For example : http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/

Happy reading.

Stay away from academic stuff like stroustrup, schildt and kernighan Ritchie. If you want to learn C/C++ without wasting time buy the books by deitel & deitel: if you already have a little experience in coding you'll learn c in a very short time.D&D books are practical with good advise on software engineering too.

This is a fairly large collection of C tutorial material aimed at HaikuOS but possibly still of interest here - http://darkwyrm-haiku.blogspot.com/

Thanks for all advice. I can code okiish. I'm oracle certified :).

So I take it I can use c or c++,to compile for morphos. So guessing I would be better off learning c++ ?

C and C++ use the same syntax, C++ only adds functionality for object oriented programming ontop of C, so you can't really learn C++ without leraning C.

Wether to use C or C++ can be the start of some rather heated arguments so better just choose based on your prefered programming paradigm.

Personally I really like to have all those classes of the STL at hand and so pretty much do all thinks in C++ even if my part of the code ist just plain C.

We'll given my java experience probably best to go with c++ by the sounds of it. Thanks
