Where can I find info on C++, including info on how to use a compiler? I am a COMPLETE novice, I need BASICS!

I know nothing about anything having to do with computer programming. Online would be most helpful, but even books. Thanks.

Where can I find info on C++, including info on how to use a compiler? I am a COMPLETE novice, I need BASICS!
I'd recommend searching Yahoo or Google for C++ projects or tutorials. As for books there is a book called Learn C++ in 21 days, it goes over different things and gives you a project to do every day for 3 weeks. I really enjoyed it. The links below take you to some stuff I've found helful. I'm pretty sure a manual comes with the compiler download however I'm not on my PC right now so I'm unable to tell. Hope this info helps.

Reply:first dont worry about learning c++, you need to learn to programme, find a book on UML, that will help (Very boring) then get any programming books you can find in java or C++ and learn from there.

Reply:There are a lot of resources online to learn about computer languages and how to use a compiler , you can search online for a free complier and free info on the complier.





If you are running windows 2000,xp or vista Microsoft has a really good free complier called Express edition you can legally download the software and use it for free the visual studio express has C++ C# java and Visual basic.





I have a few links for you to look at.





Good luck and have a lot of fun!!
