C++ Tutorials, Lessons... ?

[MasterSamwise]

Hey,

Looking for some good sites.. Any suggestions?

I found one http://www.technipal.com but it seemed to be pretty sparse. I am going to be programming under linux/win98se/winxp (several different compiliers).

I am not currently enroled in a C++ although I went through a QBASIC and VISUAL BASIC course. Resources need not be the most basic... This is the concept of a loop type of thing. Just a good intro.

Thanks
Master Samwise

I'm trying to teach myself with one of the Sams "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days" books.
It came with a crippled learning edition version of VC++, and DJGPP.

Programmer's Heaven has a great C / C++ area filled with tutorials and source code.

The thinking in C++ books are also pretty great.

Bruce Eckel's Thinking in C++ is a very good, and you can download it for free..

C++ how to program by Deitel .. that's where I learned it from. It's a real textbook, covers lots of things.

You *might* want to start with an easier object oriented language like Java.... C++ has both OO concepts and the icky C like stuff too 🙂

Bruce Eckel's book is truly great for understanding OOP but I wouldn't use that as an intro book to C++. To the first time learner it might be a little intimidating.

It wasn't for me.

This is also a good book, and one that teachs the very basics of C++ fast and efectively!

And "thinking in c++" is not hard to learn from...

That is exactly the reason NOT to learn java instead of C++. Only once you understand how memory is dynamically allocated (and how pointers work) should you go to java.
