I have been programming a lot in college and have a basic understanding on how to program. All the time the programming environment was configured and all necessary files were provided. Even the source files were pre-filled, where I had to only add essential lines of code. Thus, I learned the programming language and how to code, but I have no idea what is necessary besides the code to make a working application.
Now, when I want to make my own application, what is necessary to have except the functional programming code? What files are created automatically for me (such as in MS Visual Studio 2008 C++), what other files/libraries should be included by me? What are the essential project settings i should pay attention to? etc.
Most of the tutorials I found cover programming essentials and rarely mention the questions above. If someone could name the topics that cover these questions, I would greatly appreciate. The links to educational sources would be welcome.

I'm not sure if this is on the right forum but im putting it here.
I am interesting in writing my own script language that is easy to embed in any language. I want to do it for educational purposes, to see how it works and to learn more about how programming languages and script languages work and how they can work together. I am a college student learning c and c++. I am eager to learn as much as I can.
Could anybody tell me where I could find some resources or books to help me get started? What else I could do to learn the same things?
Look for compiler-compilers.
As a dinosaur, I'd say look into flex/bison to have the full featured options (but also developer responsibilities):
http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~beardj/FlexBisonC++.html
It will certainly address the educational purposes. See that a programming language consists of a 'scanner', that tokenizes characters into words, and a parser, that combines words to expressions, statements, and complete programs.

I'm looking for a reverse-engineering UML free tool for c++ code.
The old software i'm working on has almost no documentation, and i must add an evolution :s
So an UML diagram would help me a lot.
I downloaded StarUML, but when i do the reverse engineering, i have an issue, it doesn't display all the classes on the diagram, as if it was too small.
I didn't find the solution so i wanted to download another free tool. But doesn't find one.
Thanks for the answers

You could always try Doxygen. It won't produce the most beautiful output of all times, but you can force it to generate class diagrams for you.
One of the best tools I've ever used for reverse engineering to create UML diagrams is Visual Paradigm. I've never used it for C++ but for Java and C#.
Try to take a look:

I am porting a large, messy, 10 year old cold base in C++ from Metrowerks on OS X to XCode. There are so many files and all the other people that touched this over the years are gone. Nobody know what files are actually needed and which are just cruft.
Is there any tool that I could run and have it produce a list of what files are ACTUALLY needed?
You could run doxygen on your project and have it generate inheritance diagrams for your classes. It can also generate caller graphs to help you find dead code.
You can try searching this static code analyzer list in Wikipedia. The ones that I've seen in actions would be cppdep and Include Hierarchy Viewer, although the first one is a little rough and the latter is a Windows analyzer only for the include tree. Also that still might not give you all the info if the dependencies are not explicit.
Edit: Also, the following StackOverflow search query seems to have results that might interest you:

I'm an absolute beginner in Outlook programming and Windows GUI programming in general. But I have lots of years experience in C++ programming in general (not GUI)
I need to develop a Outlook plug-in and my question is where to start?
What do I need to know to let me start?
Can you please give me some useful links to learn ?
OutlookCode.com and it's forums are always my first point of call with Outlook related programming. Also see the Office Developer Centre.
For your specific scenario the COM Add-ins page links to the following ATL/C++ sample.
you can use Outlook ActiveX library or CDO COM library, the best choose is to use the first one if you are sure user has installed outlook

Do you know of a good open source financial library written in C (preferably) or C++?
I already looked at Quantlib, which seems too complicated for me, since I just want some basic computations (total cost of credit, all in-cost credit rate...)
Thank you very much!
When programming for financial derivatives, I absolutely loved Bernt Arne Ødegaard's resource here:
http://finance.bi.no/~bernt/gcc_prog/recipes/recipes/node1.html
It probably has what you want, and then some. If it doesn't, I have to agree with James Black.
Try:
http://www.metasystems.no/downloads/index.html
Download the Meta Financial Functions Library Beta 0.0.4
Also take a look at my application which uses both
Financial Recipes in C++ and the Meta Financial Functions Library
to generate option chains for 120 models.
