Best C++ Beginners Guide You Have Seen?

[Arch Deviant]

Hi,

I used to be a competent programmer many moons ago, but am now trying to learn C++ but getting no where fast, one problem is doing a google brings up millions of instructional web sites, can anyone help seperate the wheat from the chaff?

Can you recommend a good beginners guide?

cheers all.

I'm not a programmer, but I went through this tutorials on cplusplus.com and found them nice and concise and farely easy to follow.

Cheers Godmil,
Those could come in real handy if I ever manage to get a dev environment setup in either Windows or Linux lol.

If you used to be a programmer then these *may* be more suitable:

Thanks guys
oh and tripmonkey, check out the post I made a week or so back about setting up a dev environment using DEV-CPP and SDL, that might help otherwise PM me and I can explain what I did if that helps

I've got a dev enviroment setup on my spare Win comp now, but I've just bricked my 2x.
I gets no errors while making the SDL test app, but I've currently no machine to actually see if it works or not

Once again I'm subjected to sods law lol

If you're already a competent programmer in C then you're half way there, you just need to get your head around how OO works.

Think of calling function pointers from within a union/struct, and you'll get there pretty quickly (assuming you've done that before).

If you're after references for what's available in the C++ STL then have a look at http://www.cppreference.com

cheers, all my coding days were in 68000 on the ST (many moons back) or in high level languages like STOS (ST games oriented basic) or Delphi, C and C++ just seem really fiddly... case sensitive commands? sheesh...
