Hello! Anyone know of any good tutorials on C++ aimed for the absolute biginner, and explains everything in good detail? I mean ive looked trough a lot of online tutorials and stuff, but there all unreadable or they just explain enough, I have been reading books, but Id rather read on the computer then keep loosing my spot on the book. Thank You That Anyone Helps!! And please visit my homepage and tell what you think!

You''d probably be better off spending $20 for the worst C++ book out there, it certainly wouldn''t be as bad as an online C++ tutorial. Online C++ tutorials are quite lame from what I''ve seen. If you''re poor and you can''t afford a lame $20 book, go to the book store wearing a big coat.. [nudge nudge]. Hahah just kidding! Seriously though, get a book.

Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days is pretty good so far...I haven''t had much time to work with it though, but its looking pretty good.

Here are some links, also I went to your page, when are u going to have Roms up???

Many people have said that "cplusplus.com" is good. I have looked at it before. I don''t find it too bad - although I am 4th year computer science student. But, there are simple tutorials there. I agree with the previous message - get a good book about C++.

Well, if you are an ABSOLUTE beginner, I think it is more important to learn what type of compiler you are planning on using before you wonder about online tutorials on C++. Look on
getting a FREE complier check the links to see which is best for you. Also check out the used book store on a C++ books. I know alot of people who want to design that new RPG then finding how impossible it is, decide to quit. You have to start at the beginning, doing that wonderful " HELLO WORLD" program.

I found a GREAT site (for me anyway) that is an online C++ tutorial. the address is. . .
Functionx.com/cpp. This is a great site. It''s really simple / clear and it gets to the point. it has good examples and would be great for a beginner or an intermediate programmer. Even if you know a little about C++ this would be a good place to go.

I too have read many online tutorials and they all really suck compared to reading a good book. If you don''t have a compiler u probably want to buy one from amazon.com|| ddjpp or something like that is the best online free compiler you can get but it only supports dos console programs in 16bit I believe. Visual c++ 6.0 from microsoft will run you about 75 bucks but there''s a 50$ mail in rebate so ends up 25 bucks. As for a book Ivor Hortons beginning visual c++ 6.0 is an awesome book, about 1000 pages and is specific to the compiler. It cost about 40$ at amazon but it will keep you busy learning for months.

A really good online tutorial is the online book ''Thinking in C++''. You can get at www.planetpdf.com and search for the book. It is downloadable.
