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++tutorials.htm?terms=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.
aright then thanx alot ill check out the tutorial right about now.........
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.
sweet man thanks alot for the advice.......funny thing is i bought sam's 2 days ago from barnes and noble just because i read the covers and whatnot and decided to give it a try. Gotta love Coincidental things like that......i've never heard of that other one by stroustrap but ill check it out
thanks again, Cody
Wow ,thats really cool ;)
I hope you to enjoy reading of this book and don't hesitate to ask us in your problems
Sincerely

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++).

My favorite and one that gets nice reviews on amazon is "on to c++" by winston:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201580438/002-3913618-4081654?v=glance
You can get it for $4, it's really short, and it's so concise that you can't get lost.
aright cool thanx alot........nice first post quite informative, hope you stay on the forums
thanx again,
Cody
