I'm new in C++, where to start from ?

Hey all,
I am new at c++, but I have a plan to learn it. Here is my question: where to start from ?
Have you any articles or smth?

Any help is welcome

Maybe you can start with a book?

C++ General: What are good books about C++ ?

- petter

www.cplusplus.com is a nice site to start.

www.vtc.com however helped me ALOT, it has online bideo courses on many languages INCLUDING C++.

www.pscode.com - Great for C++ code samples.

http://pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCod...=9889&lngWId=3 - My tutorial on C++. Made a small mistake but fixed it. Im sure it'll help, has some nice ratings too.


If you are willing to pay a little price, check out www.3dbuzz.com and buy the C++ VTM videos. They take you from your first C++ programs. all the way to creating games and using classes pretty deeply.

Some books:
beginning C++ - Ivor Horton
C++ Programming Language 3rd edition - Bjarne Stroustrup(C++ creator)

Alright, thanks alot, but here is another question: where I have to write the code?
Can you suggest me some programs.

//Edit

Already got one (Dev-C++)

Dev-C++ is all you really need. It's a very nice program - I'm definetly going to donate to them.

Also let me recommend a book: Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days. Don't let the name scare you, this is NOT a typical (read: crappy) sams teach yourself book. It's about 950 pages and starts out at the most basic level. It is a very well done book.

I have a lot of OO experience with .NET and Java, but was clueless in C++. I skipped most of the first week with the exception of classes. But again it's a very good book and goes very in depth.

G/L!

Well, I made a little program, but I would like to know couple of things.

Here is my program

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
float a, b;
    cout<<"Enter voltage: ";
    cin>>a;
    cout<<"Enter amperage: ";
    cin>>b;
    cout<<"---------------------------------------\n\n";
    cout<<"Power: ";cout<<a*b;cout <<"W";
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

---

Well, I want to put this program to repeat, not to terminate it after the first calculation. And how can I enter line breaks, I want to put the message "Press any key to continue" below. P.S - I can't use \n to do this.

Hope you understand

You can use a do-while loop:

Code:

---

do
{
    cout<<"Enter voltage: ";
    cin>>a;
    cout<<"Enter amperage: ";
    cin>>b;
    cout<<"---------------------------------------\n\n";
    cout<<"Power: ";cout<<a*b;cout <<"W";
} while (some condition here);

'\n' like you've already done. Or you can use std::endl :

Code:

---

std::cout << "Hello there" << std::endl;

---

In addition to creating a newline, std::endl will also flush buffered data.

Thanks.
