C++ Newbie

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!

Re: C++ Newbie

My favorite C++ book is C++: The Complete Reference 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 ).

Re: C++ Newbie

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.
