I'm planning to move onto higher languages, and I'm going with C++. The only problem is, I have no idea where to go to learn it
I'm looking for a free online course on the very basics of the languages, and was just wondering if anybody could help out!
Thanks,

Sigton

Well there are a couple ways to this. Some may work better for you. (Also, you might want to possibly introduce yourself to the original C language but it's not required.)

Option 1:
Find an online course. These may not be as good as some other things but it can at least introduce you to the language. You can look at other websites to find ways to expand your code from there on out

Option 2:
Buy or check out a book. Most libraries carry at least one book on most major languages. This is how I learned Java. This is my recommended choice. You can learn at your own pace and usually you can copy the code word for word to edit it.

Option 3:
Learn from someone you know or a teacher. My dad was familiar with C++ as well so it made learning a little bit easier (They are similar.) If you ever have an error a book or online course won't necessarily tell you how to fix it. A person however, will.

You can also combine these options as well.

Thanks for the advice
I'll see if I can find a book on C++, then.

Here is Google's C++ online course: https://developers.google.com/edu/c++/

Great! I'll check that out

I learned quite a bit from this website and I occasionally still read through it just because there are a lot of cool things in C++ that can be hard to remember.

If you google “C++ tutorial” lots of things come up.

I'm going to install the compiler today, which will probably go very wrong xP

I managed to download a compiler and IDE for C++ ^u^

I suppose that's one way of putting it.

To say it bluntly, most C++ tutorials are pure and utter “poop”

If you have some extra money and you're devoted, I recommend you buy this.

C/C++ development on Windows is terrible. It doesn't have good enough libraries and the compilers don't follow the standards. If you're on Windows I recommend Cygwin. If you're on a Mac or Linux, you're good to go.

To learn how to use the command line effectively, read this. And that's about it.

But you'd be fine without any of these things, since you seem smart.
Good luck!

I'm using Google's tutorial; it is satisfactory for now

I'll check it out; I have plenty of money, and I'm definitely dedicated

I downloaded an IDE that included a compiler that supported C++11, even though Cygwin was recommended by my tutorial

I shall read that

Thank you

There's also this site: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/

Pretty much a site dedicated to giving assistance with C++. Helped me learn things that school couldn't teach.

http://www.learncpp.com/
I learned c++ here. its a great place to start, but afterwards you're gonna need some books, or a lot of time to dig up tutorials on the internet.

Dont learn c++, learn JQUERY

jk jk

I sign up for http://www.cplusplus.com/ and asked questions. also, use google
