Getting into C++

Matt_872000 · **Posted:** Mon Jun 20, 2005 8:37 am

I was thinking about starting to learn C++. If anyone knows which compiler is best or where there are some rockin' tutorials for people who know what variables, loops, if statements and procedures are. Like some sort of command list rather than reading through miles of websites to find out all you get to learn is what a variable is.... lol I have microsoft visual studio, with visual c++, visual basic and etc. but I'm not sure how to use it.... lol any help would be greatly appreciated.

What version of Visual Studio do you have? If it's 6, I suggest you find another compiler, but .NET and .NET 2003 are okay.

http://www.cppreference.com/ and http://www.cplusplus.com/ are good places to start. Also, you might want to pick up 'The C++ Programming Language' by Bjorn Stroustrup.

It's a decent Windows compiler, but has very little respect for standard C++.

I just issued "C++ for Dummies" from the library and almost finished it, what book should i go to next for intermediate levels?
Thanks.

Sams teach yourself c++ in 21 days is good if you've programmed anything before in any other language.
