Topic. Where do you start off in programming in C++? The truth is out there

Reading tutorials or books is a good idea to start off

I think you''ll find that a good book will teach C++ much more effectively and in-depth than any tutorial on the net. Just my view, yet I believe it to be correct. Good luck.

I believe this to be true as well, a tutorial is cheaper and quicker to pick up what you need to know.. however the book will tell you all the little things that you need to know in order to really understand what its all doing and why..

int main()

or any main function that applies.

My compiler generates one error message: "does not compile."

Tutorials aren''t bad but with a book you have the whole story from the beginning to the end. With a tutorial you pick all litle pieces from here and there..

So where do you start... well learn to program Learn C++ and after that opengl or directx.

Do you already have a compiler?

nah, www.cprogramming.com is where you NEEEEEEEED to start.
if you dont, youre doomed.

I'm not sure I'd consider that such a good place to go, they seem to still be using the non-standard headers in their C++ tutorials.

Yep, they do. That's one BIG problem with tutorials and some books : they teach you 'not-quite-C++'.

Go have a look at the C++ FAQ lite - the author is on the ANSI C++ committee - hopefully he knows what he's talking about.
