Step 1: review the stickies at the top of this page.

Come back and ask if you have more questions.

The first thing to do is to master C, before learning C++. People who write C++ having no understanding of low level programming, pointers and the like, generally write bad code without understanding why it's bad.

My suggestion would be to start with C, and a very good book for that is the Kerninghan and Ritchie
http://cgip.inf.unideb.hu/eng/rtornai/Kernighan_Ritchie_Language_C.pdf

But if you are familiar with C, and want to learn C++, all I can say is that C++ is a very messy and complicated language, full of traps. There are some links on the stocky notes for that, otherwise just google for it, millions of people code in C++, so it's not hard to find a good book on the subject.

C++ is a crappy language: unless you're obliged to learn it (for work reasons) stay away from it.
C is the mother, aunt and grandmother of all modern languages; when all the pythons, C++s, C#s, perls,etc. seize to exist, C will still be here.

My only grunt is that K&R is not a book for beginners - read it after you've learnt C. A good book for beginners:

A link ... for a quick start ....

Producing something useful to build on - its old but it still works ok ..... LINK (http://www.clivecooper.co.uk/tutorial/index.html)

Hope its of some use ......... has a link to s C plusplus (http://www.cprogramming.com/code_blocks/) too ....

CodeBlock (http://www.codeblocks.org/) is useful its in Ubuntu repository and also too is QDevelop ......

That's awfully objective advice you're giving. You should never discourage someone from trying to better themselves through self-education.

Perhaps you should attempt to offer constructive criticism.

I really don't get why I see that many people saying this about C++. I like the language and it taught me a great deal of things that I am sure C could net do it (OOP comes to mind).

In the end, C++ is a better C.

Not much time, but my views can be summarized with this (http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/Beowulf/c++_interview/c++_interview.html).

I'm trying to save him/her the time it took me to realise that C++ isn't worth learning: all these endless months... who's gonna give me my life back? :P

Is that thing a trusted source?

This is a common misconception. OOP can perfectly be written in plain C. But constructing your code with classes everywhere when they're not appropriate makes it much more complex than it should be, and much less maintainable. Not even mentionning that when you compile your C++ code a few years later, you get tons of errors because the standard has deprecated this and modified that. In 30 years C will still be there and essentially unchanged. Which is not the case of any other programming language.

Enough of the theoretical debates. Can you show me an example of C++ code that you think C is incapable of doing ? I would be glad to code it in C to prove that point.

Have a look at this link, none other than Linus Torvaldes himself explains why he hates C++:

I'm sort of curious. What is the main reason that you want to learn to program in c++? Would this be your first programming language?
C++ has a lot of power under the hood. I'm not sure I would recommend it as a first programming language to learn.

IMO C programmers who try to write C++ like they would write C tend to write bad C++. Proper, idiomatic C++ is a quite a language of its own, and if someone is starting from scratch, I'd avoid carrying over C habits into C++.

Pointers can be learned as you go along learning C++; in decent modern C++ you'll be preferring references and smart-pointers though...
