Does anyone know of any sites with really good, in depth c++ tutorials (preferably with exercises at the end of lessons)? The two best sites I have found so far are http://www.cprogramming.com and http://www.cplusplus.com. They both have pretty good tutorials, but the more the better!
One more thing – since I am just starting to learn c++, before I spend more time on it I want to make sure I am spending my time right: People have said to me that it’s not worth my time to learn c++ and Ishould learn java instead. Are they right? Right know I can program in QuickBasic, but it’s a dead language and has pitiful graphics capabilites, and I want to switch. Is C++ going to lead me down the same road? I always thought that C++ had limitless possibilities and was the ‘master language’ until these people said that to me. C++ CAN make non-console programs (I mean not DOS based, not sure if console is the right word) and do graphics, right? I was under the impression that the only advantage Java had was portability in that it can be run on practically every system because it uses bytecodes. C++ IS what I think it is, isn’t it? (wow, that sentence was awkward) I just don’t want to end up in the boat I’m in now with QBasic, still running DOS programs with a 320×200 screen resolution but calling them better because they were made with OOP language. Thanks a lot.
