Before dashing into C++, you should get a good grasp of C as C++ is based on C. There are the notes of a Course I give at:

You are welcome to use them - good luck.

ty nokomis
thank you very much for the guidance
another question
...
im a tactile person, for me to grasp a concept which wouldnt take long, i can memorize like a banchee and all but im a tactile learner and needs the concept shown to me. sadly is that odd?

does anyone know how long it takes for a beginner to fully grasp the concept of C and C++ like monthes? a year im just wondering how long did it take u all to learn it and be honest. no i learned it in 5 hours! or gibberish like that i wanna hear it took me 3 monthes and i had problems with this and that. kinda like that.

ty,
Eric

I've been programming C++ for about 2 months and understand it pretty well. I'm using Mike McGrath's C++ Programming in Easy Steps. It explains things pretty good, but it leaves out some things. Definetely not a reference, more like a learning guide.

In the front of the book Mike suggests that one not learn any C before learning C++, as the learner may become confused between the two.

But if you already have a firm grasp on C and want to learn C++, it will probably be more than a little easier.

My two cents.

There are only two stupid questions: the one you don't ask, and the one you ask more than once ;)
