What is the best way to learn C++?

I agree with fadefirez, but here are my $.02.





Aside from Accelerated C++, another good starting book is C++ Primer by Lippman. Stroustrup's book is nice, but I think you'll want to learn from Lippman's or Koenig's book first.





I don't recommend going the C route before the C++ route. Note, if you do intend to be a serious C++ programmer, you *will* have to learn the fundamentals of C. I just say go the C++ route first so you don't get corrupted by C in your C++ programming.





It's incredibly important that you learn the language, and if it is your first programming language, important computer science concepts. Do not try to jump into GUI programming, fancy graphics, MMO games, or anything crazy like that. Doing so without a firm understanding of your programming language and computer science is a path to failure.





Best way to learn C++? Get a good book, and *spend time learning it*.

What is the best way to learn C++?
There are two books that you need, and these are considered standard in the C++ world. Look on ebay, amazon and froogle and try to get the cheapest, pre-owned.





Accelerated C++ - get this first





Essential C++ - once you have gotten to grips with the previous book.





I recommend that you first learn the fundamentals of C though (not everything, just the basics).





Remember - when learning a new programming language, like any language, it is important that you know (without any trouble), the most basic fundamentals of the language before trying to learn more complex ideas.





Good Luck :)

Object Oriented Programming with C++ (BALAGURUSAMY)





It is one of the best book.

Reply:1) Take a book, read it. (Bjarne stroustrup's woud be good)


2) Practise exercises on your computer.


3) Once you are familiar with the concepts and programming, take up challenges on internet. Anyway you have yahoo answers and google to help you.


4) Happy learning :-)
Reply:buy the book Visual QuickStart for C++, then get Visual QuickPro. the visual quick series are easy to read, don't talk down to you, and it's chockful of information. start with them.
