Developing a component

I'm interested in having a shot at making a component for foobar, however I don't really have a lot of experience with anything other than java.

I would appreciate it if someone could give me a guide as to what I need to download & set up to start working.

Learn C++, get Visual Stdio 2005 (nothing else will work,) and then take a look at foosions tutorials, to be found at http://foosion.foobar2000.org/

Um, did you have a look at this pinned thread in the developer subforum?
I have read that thread, problem is it has left me more confused than when I started. Talk of dependency's etc.

Thats why I started this thread.

Thats one of the reasons I want to do this to learn c++ (I find it easier learning from doing rather from reading). Does the express version work in the same way?

The express version works fine (it's what I use), but you don't get the full resource editor that comes with the full Visual Studio., which makes designing dialogs a little more challenging.

Express will work fine, but I wouldn't recommend developing a foobar component to learn C++. The foobar2000 SDK makes use of advanced language features, which is why visual studio 2005 is required.

Ah well, lets just say I like a challenge and I have a lot of time on my hands (looking for a job after finishing my degree) + it will keep me off of World Of Warcraft for a bit
