Where to start with C++?

1

Well, I’m a little ahead of myself because I am still working my way through PHP (which I doubt I will ever fully grasp because I don’t really have anything I want to create with PHP) but if I were to start learning C++, where would be the best place to start?

e.g. Tutorials from certain websites, setting myself some kind of a target, aiming to produce a simple application and then enhance it…

Are those the kind of things I should aim to do first? Where should I start?

Thanks for any and all help,
JK.

www.cplusplus.com is also a good place to start. they have a progressive tutorial there too.

you should also take classes. with the way classes work, teachers will burn the language in you by repeatedly giving you similar programs to write.

Thanks for the links guys, I’m checking them out as I type this :). As for classes, my school doesn’t offer them, which means I would need to take them outside of school.

Due where I live, there aren’t many places that I can easily access on a weekly basis…

I also have a lot going on in my free-time as it is so for the moment, classes are out of the question :(. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a good foothold just working from these websites.

Thanks,
JK.

I’ll make sure to do that :). Thanks for your very kind offer thoriphes :thumb:.

I’ve had a little read through some of the basic introductions to C++ on those two websites and it all seems to be going pretty smoothly :beam:. I’ve got some simple (well, I hope so ;)) application ideas lined up just to see if I’m on the right track but I’m definitely going to need to do a little more reading first…

Thanks again,
JK.
