Hands On Exercises

[HanneSThEGreaT]

Hi guys!

I'm facing a huge problem. I used to have practical hands on exercises covering Visual C++6, and VB. It seems as if those exercises of mine got lost somehow ( I honestly don't know how) and I do not have the time & resources available to create new exercises. I had about 50 of each. I can remember storing it on a CD, but the CD mysteriously disappeared

So my question is :
Where can I find step by step exercises for VC++ ¿

if anyone can help me out, I'll be extremely grateful..

Don't tell me a thief robbed your CD

Don't tell me a thief robbed your CD

So it seems

Now the problem I'm facing is that (point 1) all the hard work I put in through the years is gone!
Monday I have a person that needs to start with some sort of exercises and I don't have any at this stage, because I don't have much free time to make some.
I thought of making some of my existing apps into exercises, but that's going to take even longer.

I don't know what to do....

Hi Hannes!

I am very sorry to hear the problems you are having for the moment. Unfortunately I can not help you at this point, but what kind of exercises are you looking for? Small, big, tutorial-like, UI etc... What I mean is that it would be nice if you could specify a little more what kind of exercises you are missing.

Best regards,

Laitinen

Hi laitinen!

At this stage I'm happy with anything . I don't want too complicated projects which would take hours to do, but at least some decent tutorials / exercises that can keep them busy for a while.

You see in the book we do, we cover dialogs, toolbars, treeviews, listviews, some GDI, serialization to name a few.

I know some members won't ordinarily help with such a request, but honestly, I'm really really desperate. I usually try not to ask, but, I don't know what to do.....

If anyone can help, I'll be very grateful..

Well, I guess something is better than nothing:

Pretty good site with some great tutorials on MFC programming. I am sure that by reading a little bit in those you will be able to create some decent exercises for your students: Microsoft Visual C++

Another site with some tutorials (See at the bottom, there is a link to the next lesson. & lessons in total.: Visual C++/MFC Tutorial

DevCentral Tutorials: MFC

MSDN: Windows Applications (How Do I in Visual C++)

How Do I in Visual C++

I know some of these are a bit old (2000), but I guess that the main content is still valid, at least with the purpose of creating exercises from the tutorials.

At least you might find some useful stuff here (altough you might have found those pages already!)

Hope I could help you a little!


Regards,

Laitinen

Wow, thank you so much Laitinen, I really do appreciate all your effort!
I did come accross some of them, but with these, I can assemble some exercises - it's going to be a looong weekend

Thanx once again, you're a good person, and may God bless you
