Topic: Any Good sites teaching C++ ?

[Sirgod]

I finally got my hands on a copy of C++ (visual) and was wondering where I can learn more about it, tutorials and that kind of thing.

Thanks in Advance.

I always hated C, heck I even perfered Assemblers to C.  Been so long since I programed that stuff (about 14 years) that I don't remember a whole lot.  But anyway, these sites might be able to help you Stephen:

Hope this helps.

Thanks Javora, Will do. I've been tinkering around with the script language with NWN2, and thought what the hell, I might as well learn C.

Have you considered the C for Dummies books?  (Seriously and not insulting either).   A lot of the Dummies books are very well done introductions to their topics.

That's a good idea Nem. I'll look around this next week.

As an electronics design engineer I was taught C++ formally at uni back in the 1990's.

As with all software the numero uno rule is to plan out exactly what you want to write on paper before you start to write code. It'll save a lot of deleteing code that you realised you didn't need to write, etc.

Flow charts are a good idea but professional programmers use Jackson Structures for clarity, debugging, etc.

Yourdon is OK only for embedded systems.

Assembly language is for the gods of programming only and you'd need the IBM Built In Operating System manual to programme a PC in assembly language.

C++ is less infuriating than C is!!

Thanks Panz, for the advice. Many many years, ago, the closest to assembly I ever did, was Micromon, and it's uses with what came with a C128 (granted it did kinda work on the C64.)

Flow charts rock, I use them in any and all scripting planning etc. I did with Python, and or NWN. Sadly, I sucked at it. Not afraid to admit a lack or fault here gentlemen.

Do you have any books, or sites that might help me also? One thing I'm looking forward to trying, is a simple Progy, that would help me make an SFC OP map by entering differant Variables. Size of map, hex objects, etc.

Seems like I have an old spare IBM Flow Chart stencil laying around somewhere if that is what you are talking about.  I'll look around for it if you want.  But you might still be able to find something like that at a office store in your area.

Thanks Javora, but yeah, Let me see if I can't find one. I was planning on going next month anyways, and grabbing one of those Dry Erase Hex map thingies, Damn I can't remember the name of those things or the company.

I used to use them all the time when I was the DM.

I'll look around for it in the mean time, I'll let you know if I find it.




Nice find Phaser

I appreciate it Javora.

Thanks also Phaser.
