Topic: TECHNICAL CRAP
Hi...I'm not dead...although looking at the site you might think so. New job, new life, no time...you know the story.
Anyway, as a sidenote, I've decided to brush up on my programming skills and one of the things I decided to learn was how to build Windows Programs. I've always
hated Microsoft, but since most of my friends use it I
have to build for Windows...(sure as hell beats lugging
a laptop around to show off my toyz)
As I learn, my hatred grows more intense...why? Well,
let me show you. We'll use "Hello World" as an example.
In order to write "Hello World!" to a command line, you'd use the following C++ code:
//---------------------------------------------------
// Short, sweet, stupid
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
cout << "\nHello, World!\n";
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
//---------------------------------------------------
Now, to do the same thing in Windows takes about 90 lines of code, four or five times as long and a hell
of a lot more disk space...
again I say...fsck microsoft.
