Hi,
I'm a total newbie to programming, your tutorials are really great, I hope to grasp the concepts of programming in C and C++ by working through the Kernighan and Ritchie 2nd edition book and watching your tutorials thanks guys for all your hard work that you've put into these tutorials.

Much like the C++ book from its creator Bjarne Stroustrup, The K&R book might not be the best way to learn as a beginner. its more of a concise technical reference to the language, than a step by step learning course.  though, every C/C++ programmer should have them in their library.

I'd recommend a book but I think the best way to learn as a beginner is watching the fine courses here at WiBit.net.

Hello,

I dont even have programmers training wheels on yet, basically a job I perform needs a program so I need to make one. I have been following the tuts from the start but maybe someone could point me in the right direction, as this is time sensitive. I need to make a program that navigates through my companies website. Its pretty basic but might be harder than I think. I have multiple employees who I send out emails to each of their customers for them. The site was not designed by me and is horrible. To send out each email I have to login as employee, go into recent customer activity. At this point I am on a page with a lits of customers without any inormation on them. Basically i just need to know what language type of program would do something like this so I know what i need to start learning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is where i woul;d start the program,

1. it would need it to click the link to the first customer.

2. Click the link to view customer history

3. if the costomer has spent money since the last email there will be a link at the top, if they have not it will simply show my last email.

4. A. if there is a link for a recent transaction I would need the program to clikc it

     B. If not and my last email is up there instead, I would need the program to start back at step 1 on the next customer

5. If Last step was 4A I would then need the program to view a specific line and based on peramiters make the next next step

6. A. if the parameters are of a certain value It would back to step 2 View customer history

    B. If the perameters arent of that value the program would need to go to step 1. and start over with the next customer

7. If Last step was 6A the program would need to click "send email"

8. Program would then paste a specific text and send a coupon based on the remembered value from step 5

9 . Click send.

10. Back to step one on next cusomer.

Wow i guess that that takes more than I thought it would once I wrote it all out.

Well EdMarks... You have the Flow Chart ready (i know flow chart is on images hehe)...

 

You have very classified everything. I don't know all the commands from C , but i am very sure you can do it with C... The few videos i have seen, it's very versatil and practice.

 

See the videos and you have an idea, in the other hand, you can also the videos from Crash Course, they are complement for these ones... you can fint it in youtube ( i think) and Thepiratebay. Trust me, i have no idea before how to star a program in C, and thanks to Crash course at least i know the main structure.

 

Hope Can Help You.

Hi guys,

Just finished my first year of college at Dublin Institute of Technology. It was by chance that I stumbled onto this site (so glad that I did), whilst looking for information on pointers. Love the site and your charismatic approach to teaching. Keep up the excellent work. 

Adrian.

Greetings,

Thank you so much for creating this site.Your hard work is appreciated! 

I have been studying VB for 8 years and have created a couple of databases.

At 45 years old, I have found the passion for learning. The problem solving, creation, research and the exhausting

effort keeps me coming back for more. It's frustating,fun and the cool part is that there is always room for improvement.

I start college in January and this website will give me a great introduction to all the courses Ill be studying.

Thanks for the head start!!!!
