How should I learn C++?

[Guest]

Previously on whitephoenix posts shit in the software design section: Whitephoenix asks ltt if he should learn a new language besides python, the answer was unanimously yes. Several languages were recommended and C++ fits the bill best.

 

I'm probably not gonna start for a few days, but where should I learn C++? Please include price (if any) in your post.

Codecademy doesn't teach C++. I'll look into udemy.

People stop listing codecademy for every freaking post about learning a language unless you know codeacedemy has tutorials for that language. Unless the OP is asking about learning HTML/CSS, Javascript, PHP, JQuery, Python or Ruby you shouldn't even mention it. 

 

End Rant. 

 

Look into the http://www.thenewboston.com that guy has many good tutorials for many languages including C++. Or a very good book for beginners is by the maker of C++ him self Bjarne Stroustrup http://www.amazon.com/dp/0321992784/?tag=stackoverfl08-20. From there I would read Modern Effective C++ and Effective STL by Scot Meyers

Personally not a fan of  thenewboston

I have a few really good books about more than just the basics of the C++ language (also graph theory, dynamic data structures , pattern-matching, hashing, computational geometry, programming techniques eg. backtracking, divide and conquer,  and OOP and generic programming with STL) , but they're in Romanian.

It depends on the person and what their preferred learning method is. I really hate videos myself so stuff like Lynda.com and other video tutorial sites are like watching paint drying to me. I prefer to read books.

 

I'm learning from textbooks, the one I bought is Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++.

Damn that book is expensive. Looks good though.
