A good c++ tutorial?

Anyone that can suggest a site with a c++ tutorial of some kind for someone never programmed in c++ (got some experience in java though)?

    I have a book on C++ written by the Waite Group, have yet to delve into it though...

    Guess I'll probably [b][i]Waite[/i][/b] a little longer... heh heh

    What's a good develpoment base to use for C++ ???

    I have Visual Studio 6, should I go with that?

    Definitely go with the Visual Studio Jack. I have used versions 4 and 5 myself for VB and C++ in the past and it's an excellent development base. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    I use Visual Studio 6, and it is easily the best I have found. Sure, M$'s compiler isn't completely compliant with the standards. But the editing environment is so nice and so easy to use.

  • Visual Studio is fine for large projects, but starting out learning, when you don't need all the overhead, I'd suggest the CYGWIN compiler under the PCGrasp environment... it's very compact, I **think** its completely ANSI compliant, and you don't have to learn the environment before you learn the language...

    There isn't exactly lots to learn about VC++ if you're a beginner.
    Create new console project. Create new .c file. Type in code. Click "Run".
    Hell, if you're worried about the environment, use notepad and a console compiler.

  • RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
    I started programming C/C++ with TurboC/BorlandC, but as soon as you use multiple files, I very much recommend using VC(6). It's much more comfortable... (and you can pack much more lines of code onto the screen *hehe*)
  • PJHPJH The Lovely Thing
    Yeah, I started with Borland too. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    I started with Code Crusader (a Linux one). It was a real piece of shit.
