A good source to learn C++ fast.

[deathmaker06]

I attend Cal State Fullerton as a freshman computer science major and because I passed an AP Comp Sci A I got to skip 2 semesters worth programming classes. However the AP comp sci class taught Java. The class I will be taking in a few days(yes I procrastinated over my winter break) is C++ Data Structures. All I'm looking for is a good source with well organized information about C++ that I could easily read through and learn the gist in maybe 5-10 days. Thanks :D

The site has a lot of other tutorials as well. You should check them out.

Thanks Diventurer, I'll take a look at that later today as its very late. On a side note I found an older version of the book we will be using for the class and based on a short skim of it, it doesn't even seem like its teaching anything specific yet and reads like its teaching C++ for first timers.

I'd also suggest buying a book on it, my uni provided me with a big thick book on it. It covers everything you probably need to know about the language, and explains everything in great detail. Having a book you can take around with you to read is very useful, you can learn little bits when you have a bit of free time and its a lot more relaxed than taking a big chunk out of the day to learn from a website at your PC.

If your trying to learn c++ fast i would just go buy a book on it. the book that i use is kind of old but there is a new version of it coming out on the 20th of may. It is the standard book and its made by th person who made c++.

I would perhaps suggest this book as well http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Principles-Practice-Using-C/dp/0321543726/ref=bxgy_cc_b_img_b/183-1971685-1587634

Though I guess it depends on your preferences which you choose. The one I suggested is a thorough tutorial on programming in C++ for people who have never used it before. The other suggestion includes C++ 11, however.

trying to learn C++ fast

Some would argue that's not really possible. :lol:

(Yes I get that that's not really your objective, and that this thread has been necro'd,

but I just needed to get that off my chest.)

theres nothing really to it.. pretty easy language once you get the hang of it.
