Followup-To: comp.lang.c++ Reply-To: marcus@x4u.desy.de Approved: news-answers-request@mit.edu Distribution: world Archive-name: www/resources/c++ Last-modified: 29 September 1994 Posting-Frequency: monthly --text follows this line-- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Recent Changes since the last posting [Sept 26]: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Forum for OO-Technology in High Energy Physics. - C++ Annotations: Transitional guide for knowledgeable C programmers. - The Booch Design Method - OO-Design help. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * C++ on the World Wide Web ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FYI, there is a wealth of information on C++ available on the World Wide Web [WWW], a distributed HyperText system (a network of documents connected by links which can be activated electronically). The WWW resource can be searched for keywords. Especially for readers of hepnet.lang.c++, the link "Newsgroups" leads to an edited list of messages from hepnet.lang.c++, archived at the freeHEP information server and the FAQ for this group. The latest version of this resource info sheet is available via anonymous FTP to rtfm.mit.edu in file /pub/usenet/news-answers/www/resources/c++. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * How to Get to the Web ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have a WWW browser up and running, try going to http://info.desy.de/general/users.html and look for "C++" in the panel which appears. The precise URL is http://info.desy.de/user/projects/C++.html If you have no clue what WWW is, you can go over the Internet with telnet info.cern.ch which brings you to the WWW Home Page at CERN. You are now using the simple line mode browser. To move around the Web, enter the number given after an item. To go to the C++ documents, enter go http://info.desy.de/user/projects/C++.html This is what you should see now: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * What you will see there ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE C++ VIRTUAL LIBRARY Recent changes [1]--Mail additions to this list to marcus@x4u.desy.de You can also search for a keyword on this server.[2] (Here is help on searching[3].) ________________________________________________________________ Getting Start(l)ed[4] Documents and sources on C++[5] and OOP[6] Editing[7] Customizable environment for Emacs editors Learning C++[8] Virtual courses and tutorials.

[[Now you can continue climbing down the documentation tree by entering numbers 1-19 and follow your own interests]] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * More on Browsing the Web ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A very nice way of "browsing" through WWW uses X-based tools like "tkWWW" or "NCSA Mosaic". For the latter, binaries for many platforms (ready for use) and sources are available via anonymous FTP from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in directory Web/Mosaic-binaries. For vt100 terminals there is a much-used browser called "Lynx" which can be obtained by FTP from ftp2.cc.ukans.edu in the pub/lynx directory. Emacs users will like the "W3" browser, FTP to cs.indiana.edu:/pub/elisp/w3. There is a FTP repository for browser software at info.cern.ch (including a hypertext browser/editor for NeXTStep 3.0 and tkWWW). If you cannot go through TELNET, you can still retrieve WWW documents by e-mail: send Email to test-list@info.cern.ch with one or more lines of the form send [http-address] e.g. send http://info.desy.de/user/projects/C++.html at the bottom of the page you'll find all links of that document listed. Your mail system must have a mail gateway to internet mail. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Contact for Further Information ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please feel free to contact me for questions, suggestions and further contributions, or just to tell me whether you found this information useful in any way.
