Where to start learning c++?

[mafiaboy]

My god the thing u can do with c++!!!!!! If only i knew how.

How did you guys start learning c++? I've tried a book and still it just doesnt click..QQ ( by herbert Schidlt , ascended recommended it)

Is it possible to go into c++ with abosoluetely 0 knowledge of java,C flash etc...

All i know is modifying the ascent cores cuz theirs guides on it. And ofc mysql queries and database maintenance.

I really want to take wowmafia to another level.

Gastric told me books.

And I already had one (Found it in a bookcase, woot!) and it's going pretty smoothly.

So... Books should help.

Otherwise, googlez + teh intarwebz.

Good website be here - Learn C++ - » The C++ Tutorial

Well, in all actuality, I would take c++ scripts, download them, look at the formatting, and determine what did what. Then I would look at another script that was written for something different, and judge what did what on it. If I thought that I wasn't looking at somethign the right way, then I began taking those scripts, and compared them to others that had somewhat of relevancy, but also some changes. You'll also notice that c++ has a fe different structure types, and while I'm not advanced enough to tell you about them, and how they work, I can tell you that it's best to learn a mix of all of them, in case you run into problems with one as they can all interact with each other succesfully.

Read Books, Look at lots of Source code, Read lots of tutorials, ask questions at big programming forums, use google, talk to real life programmers. If all else fails pray to the coding gods to grant you 1337 programming skills

And no you don't need to know any other programming language to learn C++

Find example programs, and if it explains what stuff does, great.

For example, Cout is a special object that represents the console/screen. The << symbol is an operator (much like + is an operator) called the output operator. Cout understands that anything send to it via the << operator should be printed on the screen. Endl is a special symbol that moves the cursor to the next line.

#include <iostream>  
   
 int main()  
 {  
    using namespace std;  
    cout << "Hello world!" << endl;  
    return 0;  
 }

I suggest php, then C++.
It will make it easier...trust me

yea i understood what most variables mean reading from a book, it just seems i cant apply them to actually make a program....

I never got what the #include <????> is.

how long did it take you guys to learn?

Took me 1 to 1 1/2 months to get the basic structure of it...

Like close to 10 months into using it and I am pretty good, so I would say a few months to get kind of familiar or good with it.

Also #include can include a .h[eader] file you made, or something else like iostream for example.
It gets very useful when you want to make complicated things too

Header files perform a certain function you are trying to use
