C++ Newbie

[TheNewCode]

Hello, i am new to this forum and new to programming in almost every language so i was hoping to get links, books or help on this forum to start programming a robot in C++, from the basics to the intermediate level (if possible).

Hey I'm new to C++ too!
Don't worry though it shouldn't be too hard:)

My veteran programmer gave me this book called:
Beginning C++ Through Game Programming [Third Edition]
and its really good at teaching basics-intermediate stuff!

Would you happen to have a pdf version or a link to one so i may access it too. if not i will try finding it own my own, but thank you anyway, i think it will help me a lot.

I think its just in book form....the maker is Course Technology CENGAGE learning if you want to google it....glad to help:)

[TheNewCode]

Thank you i did find a pdf version online to download so it will be a great help thank you. Also if anyone has any video tutorials for me to use as i am desperate to learn for a final project and my robotics team. anyone who has helped thank you so much and please do so in the future.

My favorite C++ book is C++: The Complete Reference (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0072226803) and is about $15 bucks used on Amazon. It's not for someone completely new to programming, but if you have experience in any language then it's a great book -- not only for learning C++, but also to use as a reference later on (hence the name :p).

So are there any more recommendations for books of videos to watch to learn C++ as i am really hopeless right now, because my team only had one programmer, but he won't teach me and instead lead me to this forum.

I would not recommend watching videos to learn programming. Here are two really good websites for you:

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/c++-tutorial.html

I would suggest picking one of those sites and just start reading through the tutorial, referencing the other when needed.
