2. What book do you recommend to learn C++ for a beginner ?





3. What are other ways that I can learn C++ easier ?





Thank you

Visual C++ and C++ questions?
c++ and visual c++ are the same thing just that visual makes programming windows app easier (it's pampered).. use bloodshed c++ to learn http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html





book, hmm, i dunno. i learned basic skills using "problem solving with c++" by savitch, the book is alright and will teach you the basic. also anything from o'rileys is pretty good.





checkout these websites http://www.cprogramming.com and http://www.cplusplus.com/ they both have great tutorials





perhaps you should take a course at a local community college.





to start i would get bloodshed and do these tutorails http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/les... hit next for the next lesson (bottom of page in red plain text, says "Next:" and what the next lesson is)

Reply:1) C++ is a language. Visual C++ is Microsoft's C++ compiler. Asking the difference is like asking the difference between a car and a Ford.





2) Hands down, Accelerated C++ ( http://sc.tri-bit.com/Moo for the Amazon referral link.)





3) There really aren't any. C++ is a large language with many pitfalls. You need a good primer book. Be aware that most C++ primer books are utter crap; it's important to get the right one. Accelerated C++ (the link above) is an excellent starting point.
