Good intro to C++?

[Gulzakar]

I've been wanted to learn how to write progams...

Can anyone suggest a good "intro" book?

I don't know why, but it's something I've always wanted to do...

Not sure about visual c, but C vs C++

C was originally for Unix, designed as a Unix programming language
C++ is the evolution of C

Visual C is an IDE

C is a programming language

C++ is a "superset" of C

That is debatable

 

[Gulzakar]

Hmm,

I see.

So something like Java is more for internet use?

Sorry for the questions, I'm don't know a lot about this.

Would evolution be a more appropriate word?

Java has found a bit of a niche for server-side applications. You can write stand alone apps for Java just fine though. For web browsers, you might have heard of Javascript - this isn't the same thing as Java.

The C++ Programming Language, by Stroustrup.

Also, the literal interpretation of C++ is "C incremented" (by use of the incremental operator ).

When did he say he was going to program for a living

Programming is actually a great skill that has found its way in to many different fields. Just being able to write scripts can automate a LOT of tedious computer work.
