Hi, I would like to learn C++ and I have looked at a few tutorials but it would be nice to have a "tutor" of sorts. I know a few other programming languages so I am not new to the idea of programming, and I learn quickly. Well if anybody would help you can email me at bradvot@hotmail.com, or just post here =) |

The first bit of advice I'll give you is to avoid Microsoft's Visual C++ 6 compiler and anything from Borland like the plague. Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET C++ compiler and GCC are both fine alternatives, though I prefer GCC because I believe integrated development environments make things more complicated than necessary. |

The C++ compiler shipped with Visual Studio .NET is vastly superior to that shipped with VC++ 6. In version 6 they intended to create the "perfect compiler for Windows." This meant it sucked for creating cross-platform code, b=mostly because of the terrible support for the Standard Template Library, and template programming in general. Due to much complaining from developers, they improved standards compliance in VC++ 7 (the version shipped with VS.NET).
Borland gets no love for the same reason. Standards compliance. They're terrible at it. |

Well I know the basics, and I have a simple compiler to just learn for now, and I just want some basic tutorials on the code. |

First I would suggest browsing through the tutorials available here in the C/C++ tutorials forum. |
