what are some good tutorials for c++

[1467]

i tried learning c++ last year and I gave up not because it is to hard be because i got to the end of my tutorial (I did not lean much) and did not find a another

so i am going to start over

Really and tutorial will be the same. I would suggest taking problems and do your best to solve them.

That's how I learned.

Do you have any programming experience?

just JavaScript

See the stickies.

My wiki will have tutorials for C++, but I do suggest starting with another language.

Agreed. C++ is great, but it takes knowing virtually all of it to have a decent grasp of it.

If you take on C++ as your first programming language, I would be very very very patient. Otherwise it may ruin your desire to program altogether.

Good luck and happy programming.

BTW: I love this site when it comes to my C++ needs

What problem are you trying to solve?

Learning programming techniques? The language isn't so important... Python is a good language to start with, you can learn most techniques with that...

Doing something useful? C++ isn't necessarily the best language for that. I've used wxPython to create an interface for my wife to simplify a task for her... I created it under Linux, modified it slightly and it ran on Windows for her. Not complicated, but useful.

In case you think I'm pushing you towards python instead, I'm not... you should learn lots of programming languages if that is what you want... But I'd start with Python rather than C++. I know 8086 Assembler, Awk, Basic, C, C++, Fortran, Lex, Perl, Python, SML/NJ, Yacc and I think I'm forgetting some. I do a lot more shell scripting these days than the rest (surely there's something to fill in the missing letters).
