Unfortunately I haven't encountered a tutorial on the web that is capable of teaching what is really needed, which is knowing general programming terms and being able to fully reflect answers, rather than actual programming. If you understand a bit of C++, then you should be able to tell me what 'a' is in this statement:int a = 10;Unfortunately the answers I hear from this are never correct in sense of general programming explanation but rather the end result.The answer I would accept would be along the lines of:'a' is the name we gave to an object with a data type of int that holds the decimal value of 10.What this is saying is, 'a' is a label on the box, the box being the object having it's own storage space (where it resides in memory), has enough room to store an integer (integer size is machine/processor dependant so I couldn't say what size it is) as well as knowing it's data type is an integer (what it is allowed to store), what's inside the box is the decimal value 10.If I ever came across a tutorial as such though, I would point many to it. If I had time to write such an indepth tutorial like what I'm suggesting, I would, but it's really time consuming and I doubt I could find the time to do so, but it would be good if terms and explanations are straightened out before the actual programming commences.I might just write up a short reference explaining general terms and meanings in C/C++ as I believe this will help beginners to advanced programmers.There are few tutorials on the web though, but I don't highly recommend them, but they are worth the read none the less.Bruce Eckels Thinking in C++ I think found at bruceeckel.com if not I suggest searching on google for it.Then there's sites like cplusplus.com, cprogramming.com, gamedev.net.Cheers,MC

Buy a Book !when you learn from free online tutorials, you tend to pick up the bad porgramming habbits of the author.seriously.... learning little bits from different online tutorials messes with our head.and one early word of warning... avoid MFC like the plague ! (Microsoft Foundation Class) use STL wherever possable (standard template library)and get a free compiler (GCC ?) MS Visual C++ is quite possably the worst compiler ive ever had the misfortune of being forced to use at school

Yeah I have tought of it, and i might buy a book, but there the problem off finding one, is most of them good???The only one I've ever seen in a store was called "c++ programming for dummies" know anything of that ???And I downloaded a compiler yesterday, it's called "Bloodshed Dev-C++"

the person ebbigner requested , I just started learning, and I know how to make basic programs now (not BASIC like visual basic, but basic like easy) If you want to learn fast buy Visual C++ for dummies It really helps. Even if you dont wanna learn BASIC it will teach you C++ coding and easy ways to learn it.

So i should go and buy "visual c++ for dummies"(are you insulting me?

 

I guess ill buy it, thx for the help

NP, if I had the time i would copy it here but I dont , It's a great starter book and im actually using right now because I forgot some command lines and "Visual C++ for Dummies" has all of the basic and alot of the advanced command lines.

Yeah, i got it too, its really good:)
