okay i want to know a good place to start for learning C++ i would prefer books but websites are good too

Ecliptic · 2012-04-11 23:38:49

You should use Google instead of asking us. Anyways, I found this website.

trinary · 2012-04-11 23:39:08

I would recommend C++ for everyone and C++ in easy steps.

samtwheels · 2012-04-11 23:39:09

Duplicate. I would know, I made the first.

muppetds · 2012-04-12 04:15:13

Im learning it right now
from this pdf

LiFaytheGoblin · 2012-04-12 05:24:04

I learned how to make a "hello world" C++ program with a funny book, but I don't remember the name sad
The book makes it easy to learn C++, but you have to have much time! I hadn't, so I didn't learn it ...

It depends what you want to achieve with C++.
It's a great language, but it's very hard to use for normal Windows programs compared to java or the .NET languages!

I used two main resources to learn the basics of C++. I found an awesome website called cplusplus.com, which many have already mentioned above. Then I used a heavy book my dad gave me called C++ for dummies, but that's only if you really want to learn it because it's more than 800 pages!

Then you can branch out and take tutorials on the internet for Win32 (if you want to make windows programs), DirectX, or other graphic libraries! It take time though and it's really fidgety at times.

The one on the C++ site is pretty good. cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/. You might also use XoaX.net. And as always, there's thenewboston.org.

I believe Eclipse has a C++ version.

I've heard of Code::Blocks. It's pretty good.

Yeah, codeblocks is good, but it doesn't have a compiler. Visual C++ works just as well, even though it's not actually that visual at all, and has a compiler included!

Yes. The (widely regarded to be) 'best' ones are Visual C++ and Code::Blocks. Just as a small note: Code::Blocks doesn't have it's own compiler, but there is a version of it that comes with one of the most popular ones, MinGW, and lets you choose your own compiler. Visual C++ comes with its own compiler, but you can only use that one Visual C++ Compiler

Wait, I thought you started learning java like two weeks ago xD
But yeah, apparently QT is good smile

TheninjaGUY · 2012-09-04 18:38:27

Just pick up C++ for Dummies. Pretty much any book that doesn't say it's advanced.

christian2000 · 2012-10-05 12:01:07

I made THIS In Code::Blocks. It's pretty much my first .exe not made with BYOB. tongue

It's not that good.
Go with iTunes U and Harvard's David Malan for learning C, and then continue on.
A good site in my bookmarks:http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/Thi … CPP2e.html

cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ and xoax.net are free. Who needs books?

trinary · 2012-10-06 04:20:24

cppreference is useful as well.

scratchisthebest · 2012-10-09 20:11:51

I have this absolutely huge book in my bedroom called JAMSA'S C/C++ BIBLE or something like that. So far I've only used it for flattening out papers (stack em on the page and jump on the books, you get funny looks but it works), but it's only because I don't know where to start and I'm a sucker for Processing.

One time (more than 30 days ago) I got ofx working with Visual C++ and luuved it, though my VisC++ trial expired sad

wmays · 2012-10-10 09:07:49

I made this in a day or two, just an experiment.

Source.

trinary · 2012-10-12 22:53:09

That's quite good.

41w4y5 · 2012-10-13 00:13:39

I tried learning it once, but it was hard.

41w4y5 · 2012-10-13 00:46:31

i was gonna make minecraft II: Revenge of the minecraft 1
