Hello World! 🙂

Lets start where the story begins 😉

Im a web programmer, but recently ive been needing some ‘proper’ programming language for my work. I figured out i’d need executables and thus C++.

I have read through a dozen tutorials, and ive downloaded Dev- C++. But I really have to ask one very basic question.

You see the thing is, Dev- C++ comes with a pre-made template of a Windows application window. But now i wish to add text to that window, and some pictures. I have never figured out how thats done. ☹

Regards
