Hey guys , the question may sound weird but oh well, ill give it a try...

I want to start learning a C++ programing, tho i have no clue what to start with..
i mean there is so many different C++'s
whats the difference between them? does it matter on which language to program, if so what program would you recommend to go now, or what is the leading programming language right now :p

well i guess thats it for now, and dont ask me why do i need this, as i myself dont know , i just have nothing better to do on the computer, and apparently ive lost any interest for gaming as well..
just want to learn something that can actually help me in my life =)

Thanks for reading xD

Hrm... I dunno about many different C++s but here's somewhere to start. http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html

You'll also need a compiler. Here's a free one. http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

Have fun.

And if you want to learn newer .NET programming, here's C# Express for free.

you can also buy microsoft visual c++, it comes with the compiler and has useful stuff in it. If you want to get serious about programming, I suggest you just buy something like microsoft visual c++. But honestly, I could write code on notepad, only problem would be that you couldn't do much with it

DevCPP ftw

If you are a student, you can get Visual Studio 2008 for free.

wow I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up

Thanks alot guys, btw last question whats difference between
C++ borland builder and visual C++? thanks again

borland is boring?

borland is boring?

i dont know?

im taking computer science at my school this year which teaches C++

http://pleasanton.k12.ca.us/fhsweb/sos/HW/CShw.htm

above is my teacher's website with sessions which pretty much cover all of the material for our class it sarts at session 1 and goes on. you can take a look at that since it starts with the basics and moves on to the advanced stuff and its pretty easy to understand

hey actually im starting a c++ tutorial series on youtube tommorow... ill be doing like 1-3 vids a day so u can check em out once i start... just dl visual studios c++ express edition 08...

Well thanks again..

as ive readed borland is outdated compared to visual c++ , is that so?

and anyways i guess ill be using vc++ as majority uses it, im a bit confused with all the lessons ive downloaded from internet, its says ull learn how to do a basic and the most easiest program, and than they just input a codes without even explaining of what it does, i mean comeon, a simple explanation of every code before giving the already ready program, wont be bad...
in almost every lesson they type u a program and say, congratulation uve builded ur first program, fak i didnt even think, how did i do that than?
confusing and stupid...

if anyone has an idea about "really good" lessons for dummies in C++ with no knowledge about C++ programming it would be nice, tho i already got few things by reading those books, i just dont feel its right way they try to teach..

Borland has different interface then visual C++ Express edition. I think borland is faster and has no problems with big files, but it can be just my opinion. Try both then choose better for you.

I picked borland delphi(XVI hex editor was written in it). Delphi is another programming language.

For guides try use google.

well as learning more and more i still didnt get to the point i actually needed the visual C++ or borland ...
All i do right now is using a compiller which i write code in and compille it right away..
and dont really need any more guides for c++ as mentioned before .

Hey do you think a 14 year old can learn this ? (me)

Always was interested in C++ just never understood where to start.

Borland has more options to add to your aplication and Visual C++ has visual styles of winxp and some different options.
They are basically same only different interface(Visual works more with right click and Borland with lists)

Borland is maybe more friendly for beginer as I never know what to do with Visual until I did my aplication with borland.

Compiling is easy with both just click green play button and you can test it in any stage.

Do you want possibly start form aplication first.

sure, i started learning most of my stuff around 15, and im doing awsome at it... its all about knowing what your doing, and beaing abble to figre out problems for your codes...

Which C++ you recomned Visual or Borland?

well im not sure about that, but as ive readed about both of them in internet , people say that borland is outdated, and recommend to go with visual, but who knows , just wait till somebody expierenced comes to tell you what is really right
imma just a dummie

Thank you for the website Respect +
