what programming lang. is the base of Mircosoft windows?From what I've read much of Windows is written in C and C++. Probably a bit of Assembler in there too.

Vista (aka Longhorn) was originally planned to be written in C# but since Microsoft wanted to finish it in our life times (the jury is STILL out on that), much of the C and C++ code was kept from previous releases.

8-)i never heard of vista when is it suppose to be out?GOOGLE, my friend:

http://www.microsoft.com/Windowsvista/

It is supposed to be out next year, but has had MANY release delays already and who knows when it will really happen. I will be sure to get a copy.....never!

Resuing code is a sure way to get more of the same. If you THOUGHT activation codes were bad with XP, wait till you see this. If you thought hardware requirements were high with XP wait till you see this. If you want to buy all of your applications again...well, you get the picture. i might have to speed the learn process up on learning linux then..

but back to coding what books do u recommend for me to read to learn c and c++?Of course know Visual Basic too

Very very informative tutorial book and EASY to read and understand. While C Unleashed.....OMG the things I need to be on to understand parts of that.

C is by far my favorite language. I really wish I knew assembler. That's where all of windows's flaws are. Assembly can get into anything.

I gave up after a while. Assembler is crazy. And too bad, x86 assembler might be (will be) obsolete in years when the x86 chipset STOPS being produced.whats assembler do?Google button, UW

You knew it was coming didn't you?Assembler in my view is basically the lowest language it gets....besides writing machine codes in HEX (or binary if you're crazy ). I am kinda reading up on it again. It really let's you understand what's going in the computer.Quote
