I was just wondering if any of you guys who know C++ had any suggestions on like good books for learning C++? I realy would like to learn C++, I'm tired of only knowing JavaScript.:(

I've looked at a number of books, and they are, for the most part, not much help, or at least not worth the money. A simple google search for C++ tutorials (http://www.google.com/search?q=C%2B%2B+tutorials) yielded this (http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html) website at the top of the list. It appears to have some decent "getting to know C++" articles on it, including this one (http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson1.html) which assumes you know absolutely nothing and teaches you the fundamental structure of a C++ application.

Once you get the hang of the language, and learn about things like Classes, Inheritance and Polymorphing, then have a look at a code file in the SDK to see if you can pick out a function and figure out what it does.

There are dozens of people here who can help you if you get stuck, or if you have trouble understanding a concept in C++, but don't forget that google (http://www.google.com) is your friend, too.

Go to http://www.gamedev.net and take a look through their tutorials.
You've also got http://www.gametutorials.com as well.

Awesome resources!

Thanks guys!
I have only been able to read page one of the tutorial on cprogramming.com.

If you come across anything else let me know, I can use all the resources I can get.

P.S
I'm glad to see alot of things that are the same as JavaScript.

Yeah, once you've learned ANY programming language, learning other ones is pretty easy. The hardest thing to overcome is learning how to think in terms of what a computer can understand.

Personally, I really think you should simply seek out Kael's incredibly helpful tutorials. Between those and some help from the very friendly modding community, I have managed to release 2 SDK modifications.

*Pssst* Aussie You need to READ thouse Tutorials as well it will greatly reduce your :wallbash:
Kaels tutorials are nice but are not a substiture for basic C++ knowlage

I just can't wait until I C++ finnaly clicks. I remeber w/ JavaScript I went for about 3 months (after read the book from front to back) before I even understood JavaScript. So in the mean time I'll just keep my self busy w/ tutorials. Well so you guy's know, I think I'm understanding what I'm reading, my only problem is that I don't totaly understand what I have to do w/ all the stuff I downloaded from that here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=166933). I would like help w/ that, I've got everything that Kael has a link to there, I'm mostly confused about the libs.

I'll have to get my hands on Kael's tutorials. They talk more about civ programing right?

P.S
I just finished downloading the cprogramming.com tutorials so next up I'll be downloading the tutorials Dale linked to.
