Where is the best site to learn C++?

[nydnh01]

I am looking for the best site to learn C++ for the WindRiver C++ software for beginners.

[CrashOverride]

I haven't rated other sites but I send my students to cplusplus.com.

You can download the whole tutorial as a PDF and read it offline.

Good Luck.

Websites:
cplusplus.com (http://cplusplus.com/)
learncpp.com (http://www.learncpp.com/)
cprogramming.com (http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html)

A good book also is C++ in 21 Days. I make all of my freshman read this book.

The one you would need in order to program robots is supplied in the KOP (on the Windriver installation disc). Install it on your development computer, and follow the instructions in this document (http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default/files/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FRC/Game_and_Season__Info/2012_Assets/Getting%20Started%20with%20the%202012%20FRC%20Cont rol%20System_2.pdf) (page 21) to get started.

As for other, general C++ compilers, I like Dev C++ (http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html) (if you're on Windows) or GCC (http://gcc.gnu.org/) (for UNIX)

You could also use Code::Blocks

If you want to learn C++ in general, one of the best internet sources is www.xoax.net. But if you're just trying to learn enough to program the robot, this probably wouldn't be the best use of your time...

I don't mean to hijack this thread as my question seems related. So those sites are great for learning C++ - where can we find API docs for the cRIO built-in functionality and such. The WPI docs have blank pages on I2C and Serial and I'm desperate to see if we can use those. Thanks!

Mine aren't......

Check out I2C.h and I2C.cpp for I2C and SerialPort.h and SerialPort.cpp for the Serial port.

GCC (http://gcc.gnu.org/) (for UNIX)

Clang (http://clang.llvm.org/) is also a very popular choice.
