    I have decided to start studying C++. The problem, is that I don't know where to start. I found some interesting tutorials on YouTube from "TheNewBoston". They have been a lot of help, but I would like to have more resources to study with.

    Do you guys know of any video tutorials that would be helpful?

    C++ is fun! I don't have any video tutes though, because I started with 'C++ for Dummies'. Great book, you can probably get it for cheap off of amazon. it's huge, so I think it's worth the money.

    A friend gave me a copy of 'C++ for Dummies' to use until the end of the school year. I prefer video tutorials, but if that is the best resource, then I guess I will use the book instead.

    Regarding compilers i can highly recommend Rad Studio. Plenty of help available for that, jusy look for Delphi examples and check out the help files for the C++ alternatives but everything else you see in the environment is the same.

    Nope, you can learn it all by yourself.

    I tend to learn better from videos too, I've found. I haven't gotten very far in C++, mostly because I've gotten bored with it every time I've tried. I've also never tried learning with videos either. </ramble>

    The thing to note with learning C++ for a novice programmer is learning two separate things, the syntax of the language (specific to C++), and object orientated programming (used in many languages). I would suggest you tackle both as separate learning curves.

    My suggestion would be:
    1. Check out and understand the "C" language
    2. Aquaint your self with the concepts of object orientated languages
    3. Tackle C++ (basically object orientated C)

    Hi, If you want to learn c++, First of all, be sure about C.
    And instead of video learning, better if you go to a Real Time Expert.

    C is not exactly a prerequisite for C++, I don't know why people keep saying that. I've learned C++ without even touching C. And you don't necessarily need a teacher either, even though it might make it easier.
