Learning C++

[volskid2002]

Is there any good e-books I can download or websites that are really good for learning C++. Also are there any programs that I need? I'm planning to learn it using my old computer so I dont mess anything up.

I strongly recommend Sams Learn C++ in 21 days and then if u want to learn visual c++ theres a sams book for that which is ok. U can probably get hashes for these in the ebooks section, but theres probably not much point as there aren't really any fake ebooks and so searching would probably be a better option.
As for software u need, I'd recommend getting visual c++ or visual studio (which has visual c++ in it) u can probably get hashes for those in this seciton, but i personally never download software from kazaa as theres too often corruption. (in other words get visual studio from another network)

i would go with the borland compiler rather then the m$ one. they give out a free command line version from there website if you are interested.

it is sometimes splashing out a few quid on a real book if you are interested. it just make it easier reading rather then changing between windows writing your programs.

Whole college textbooks and learning materials online.

yeah the borland compiler is nice theres also the freeware djgpp compiler for making command line applications, i used it for quite a while and was my favourite, but eventually moved away from command line c++ programs and then visual c++ is the main option.
And yeah i would definitely recommend getting books, they're usually fairly expensive (up to 30quid), but trying to enter code and read the book on the computer is a pain in hte arse.
And cheers for the link shn
