Hi, it''s me again. I''ve read over a few tutorials on C++ and most of them seem to be for people that already know how to program in c or other languages. I would like to know if there are any people out there that know a lot about C++ now that didn''t learn any earlier languages and know a good site that I can learn from. Currently all I know is cout/cin and some stuff about if/else From your local newbie -Scythe

There are very good free C++ tutorials which can be found at www.informit.com, as well as a very good Visual C++ tutorial at www.free-ed.net

My first language was BASIC, and that really gave me a foundation in terms of understanding programming logic, however, I think that if you study the C++ (or Visual C++) tutorials at either of these websites you should have no problem learning C++.

The important thing is to not get mad at yourself if you can''t understand something right away. The best way to learn is in little baby steps, but if you try to soak it all up at once you''re just gonna get frustrated!!!

hope i could help,

Well, I''ve learn BASIC on an AMSTRAD CPC6128, then I''ve moved to PASCAL, C++ and now JAVA.
Prefer JAVA from any other language, JAVA is safe, easy to understand, powerfull, portable language.
(ok C++ is faster, but not portable :op)
Don''t know how to find tutorials on the web, but I recommend that you bought a good book about the language you want to learn. Books can be read anywhere, and don''t waste the space of you''re hard drive, and don''t need a computer to be read :o)

A site? Well, try http://www.relisoft.com/ click Web Book and then select Language.

A learn quite a lot from there.

I would actually recommend doing C stuff before C++. The reason I say this is that you should learn the logic of a procedural language and then delve into the OOP stuff... You could use a lot of structural stuff from C++ (and commands such as cout), but the biggest thing that you need to learn that most students I''ve seen don''t understand is the LOGIC behind programming before learning the languages.

Just my opinion.

A book I would highly reccommend is "Teach yourself C++ in 21 days". I believe you can download the entire book from the net somewhere - try starting with www.libertyassociates.com although I would reccommend buying the book in paper form.
