VC Is A PAIN

After two class periods I finally got Microsoft Visual C++ installed on this computer. The program I wrote in it at home didn't work for some reason, and when I made a new "blank" project it had enough code to fill 309 pages of a MS Word document! When I ran the program it made a blank window... Perhaps tomorrow I'll figure out how to start with a "void" program or something... blank didn't seem to be the right thing to start with!

It is all a pain, but I don't know if you should abandon the MS IDE for C++ just yet.
Work with both programs, and it may appear simpler as your ideas get more complex.
I think one has to ignore all the huge Microsoft base coding to get any work done, and after a while, you won't even see it ---


well, maybe :)
