I''m learning C++, and I was just wondering if you can give me suggestions on what to start with.

I''d reccommend a college or high school class! =D

First off, I would recomend picking up a book on C++ go figure...
The one I did was "Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days"...
Great start... I have been programming for a little over a year now(not professionally or 100% dedicated...
I have not finished the book but have ventured into other things like OpenGL, DirectX, and Win32...
But Starting with C++ is good... It might be a little challenging at first(Especially if you do not have someone to teach you), But it is well worth it...
That''s my recomendation

Ah forgot :/
If C++ is too hard to start off with, try doing something easy like pascal...
heck you can even find some free compilers...
I used pascal until I started C++ but the compiler I used was obtained from here...

I''m currently reading "Sam''s C++ in 21" (the web edition) and finishing the first week. I''m a little disappointed with the exercises at the end of the chapters. I feel they''re, at times, not challenging and not enough for me to practice. I''m relatively new to programming, so I need the experience.

Can somebody recommend a book that has lots of problems & exercises?

Thanks!

Instead of trying the book''s problems, why not write your own sample programs that utilize what you have learned? You get more experiance that way in my opinion (both from devising a program to use it and actually using it!).

C++ is a great place to start and you should have some basic concepts already down from your experiance in VB.

I''d recommend ignoring suggestions to buy books written by Liberty or Schildt, and picking up Accelerated C++ by Koenig & Moo. To my mind, this is the only C++ book which teaches "modern C++" in the correct order. That means you learn to use std::string and std::vector before char* and arrays.
