how to start out

  #1  
Aug 15th, 2004
This is just a general C++ question. For someone who has been working with C++ for a while now, my question is what are the best articles-books-anythings to read or do when starting out using C++ .
I have a new found passion for programming, and i just want to make sure that i start out the best way possible. Even just something fun to read about C++ or backround on it or anything at all would help

thanks,
Cody

I started C++ quite a while ago!

But I would suggest www.about.com's C++ tutorial

Here's the link:
http://cplus.about.com/library/blc++...s=C+++tutorial

(if it does not work go to www.about.com and type in the Search box: C++ tutorial)

It does not, however, explain how to set up a compiler, but ask me if you don't know how to do it.

I am not a pro too
but if you want to read a book to start ,I think "sams teach youself c++ in 21 days 4th edition"
is a good choice.
and also C++ Programming language 3rd edition (from: stroustrap author of c++) should be a good one, but I haven't read this one yet.

No experience with the sam's; i'd stay away from stroustrup unless you're ready for the hardcore reference guide (he wrote the language, C++).

http://www.research.att.com/~bs/homepage.html

My favorite and one that gets nice reviews on amazon is "on to c++" by winston:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...81654?v=glance

You can get it for $4, it's really short, and it's so concise that you can't get lost.
