I’m working with Eclipse and I finally jumped into their Help files to figure out how do I do a simple “Hello World” application. The first one was a template, so I created an empty project just to see what the difference is and I was able to recreate the hello world app. Very cool. Since my earliest memory of programming goes back to Borland, I’m very impressed with how this CDT works. As you create objects in the code, there’s a reference created in the Outline tab. This will make navigating your code so much easier. Also; as your typing, it’ll automatically display a “syntax error” if you have one. I’m guessing VisualStudio has this already built-in, but this is new to me and I’m loving it.

Now that I have the basics, of this CDT, I’m back to reading the book. I believe I ended off declaring variables. I created a variable.cpp file and began working with the editor. Very nice how it helps.  Oh boy, I left it at page 20. I’m too tired to continue.
