    Making a Basic App for windows, eg: an mp3 player

    Hey people. Bearing in mind i have no knowledge whatsoever of programming with any programs, would anyone be willing to post me a quick guide to make me a basic mp3 player or a link to one? Once ive managed to make a basic mp3 player that actually produces sound, i shall then seek help to add extras like titles, and stuff. Any help would be appreciated guys

    ok, an mp3 player might be a little ambitious to start off with. perhaps "hello world" might be a better bet

    or picking a language to write in

    Totaly agree, but if you want to try a basic MP3 player, with little coding, read : http://www.developerfusion.com/show/62/

    Its hardly programing it though.

    i'd take the ANSI C command line approach meself

    basically, you're not going to write your own playback function, you'll be just doing a GUI. whether you use a player library (fmod, MAD, whatever) or use the windows codec architecture is down to you (the latter is probably harder, fmod is very simple to work with), and for developing things you want a simple starter language like delphi

    The funny thing is when we started Pascal at College we didn't do a "Hello World," nor did we when we started VB.

    Still, you really do have to start simple, and get used to the program constructs, how to layout code, etc.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
