Bruce Eckel's Thinking in C++ is a free download, and highly regarded by many people.

Don't bother until you're a much more experienced programmer. C++ is the highest level of the three, and the one least likely to leave you horribly frustrated, in my experience, if you learn C++, and not some weird, bastardized mix of C and C++. Eckel's book looks pretty good in that regard.

imo learn c first then u may learn assembly. if u decide to learn c++ i suggest u start of with something easier like Ruby/python etc. not that c++ is any harder than c or assembly,, just a little complex

C is simpler than C++, but it lacks a truly straightforward way of dealing with strings, and strings are just too fundamental to new programmers (and experienced ones). For me, that's a deal-breaker when it comes to C as a starting language.

But yes, Ruby or Python are also good options, particularly because of how easy they make it to experiement with their interactive interpreters.

ok i understand. but i wanted to learn all 3. after i learn all 3 my project will be way above this board that no one can help. I would need to go to a coding forum such as codeguru.com or codenewbie.com or something more advanced.

dsantamassino - no idea.. i didn't take that route. i learnt BASIC first. but it was useless i didnt understand a thing back then (pfft gr 4).. then i tried AppleScript.. an now this was some years later but i got the hang of simple scripting.. then later one i tried ColdFusion (web development) things started getting intersting.. then all of a sudden i erratically accelerated my leraning pace and learnt unix shell scripting (tcsh and bash), VB (well not really, i just skimmed through it), and Java, C++ and Perl... and later on obj-c (well a little) but i lost interest of learning more languages by then.

somewhere along the time after i picked up java, i learnt Turing.


(in total i had learnt quite a few languages.. but i can't remember them all.. i can't even remember some of their names.. i'm now only specialised in Java, Perl and C++, with a bit on obj-c..)

My advice is this, and I've told it to a lot of other people.

Take it one language at a time. Start out with the least frustrating one, and the one which lets you concentrate on being a good programmer. You'll get better all the time, and each subsequent language you tackle will be easier.

Of the three listed, C++ is the least frustrating.

OK i study C++ first.

ha u'll be shocked to know what wtd knows
