Best Way to Learn NXOpen C++
(OP)
I've been programming in VB.net for years now. However, my current employer has a lot of legacy NXOpen C and C++ code. I'd like to learn how to program in C and C++. Which is the best forum and methods to readily learn C and C++?





RE: Best Way to Learn NXOpen C++
Anyhow, the only forum I was able to find that answered NXOpen C++ questions was the official NX Languages forum, now called "NX Programming & Customization".
The best way to learn NXOpen C++, other than having your employer pay an arm and a leg for the programming course, seems to be to record a C++ journal for a desired process and study how it does its thing. The code it spits out is extremely redundant and verbose, so you'll also have to learn to prune it to the actual task without tossing out the baby with the code water, so to speak.
As for NXOpen C, most entries in its reference guide have code examples you can check out (as well as a useful search function that the C++ guide inexplicably lacks). There are also C/C++ Programmer's Guides that cover the basics.
