I am trying to learn C++. Do you guys know of any good C++ tutorials or resource sites? I have a book but is only the basics. I am about half way through it. I am trying to put together resources for me to learn the more advanced stuff. Also how about some free compilers? Thanks

For a free compiler, you can't get much better than dev c++. As far as advanced tutorials, it depends on where you want to branch into. For example, if you want to make games, I'd recommend gamedev.net

So are you bore with the normal dos based programming.Here is what more you can do with c/c++

1.)Windows Programming.Here is a very good free downloadable ebook telling you the basics

http://portal.aauj.edu/portal_resources/do...rth_edition.CHM
2.)Socket programming

There are two ways to proceed.
a.)Firstly either in the windows environment

b.)Secondly in the unix environment

Hi, For Windows, what IDE's or GUI's or what ever they are called would you recomend to use? I was thinking of micro$oft's Visual Basic student version, and it only works on SP2, while I have SP1. So before I update my service pack, i would like just a little info them. Thanks for your time, InitiaDriveGTR

That's a pretty good tutorial. When I was taking my courses in C++, I referenced that site because its pretty easy to use and navigate.

Thinking in C++ is cool and free ebook.

i recently bought a book called windows game programming gurus and it is pretty good, only thing is that i need to know c++ to get the full advantage.

That site that snutz mentioned, www.cplusplus.com has very good tutorials and is a great resource site. Of course learning a new programming language will be easier if you have had past experience with programming.
Good luck!

I personally prefer about.com's tutorials on C/C++. That's where I have started and I am finding the in-depth information very useful. The navigation of the tutorials is a little confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it eventually.
