lol @ Boon. :D


To learn C++, hmm get Books, you can find here a lot of books with user ratings...

There are also several tutorials on the web available + here again.

You can grab several Tuts like 'Learn C++ in 10min'(lol) directly fom the GG site, but these things give you just a basic overview.

I think the best opportunity to learn C++ is by reading a good book and work out all examples in it.
And get books like "Learning Visual C++".. and not "Learn Gameprogramming" or other advanced stuff... even if you are about to create a game.. with a book about how to build you own game you wont learn c++.

For the online docs, go to a search engine and look for: "c++" + tutorial

Here, this place will teach you the fundamentals of C++, and if you have Pascal knowledge it's even easier, but you just need a basic idea of programming.

Guide to C++

If you need a free compiler, try Borland's C++ Builder 5.5, it also comes with a free debugger!

Good luck!

I use Dev-C++ from http://www.bloodshed.net. I'm still learning C++ myself, but I use www.about.com and go under the computer and technology link to find a lot of beginner c and c++ tutorials, advanced c and c++ tutorials, and several other languages(java, html, dhtml, etc.). You should look into that in your spare time.
