| Can someone please show me where I can find a good C++ tutorial? So far, the only ones I have found are a bit lacking. They describe how to make data structures and everything, but nothing about input or output. Also, they all refer to some "iostream" library that I can't find. |

Thinking in C++ is supposedly pretty good.

Couple quick questions about C++ if nobody minds?
-Do you have to memorize all the commands?
-Does the language make sense (like transferring to normal english) or is it more like a binary/hex set up?
(So pretty much, does it more resemble asm or basic calculator programming?)
-How strict are limitations of coding in regards to what you can/cant do or access?
-How easy is it to pick up on? |

I wouldn't expect you to know all of the standard library by heart, though; a rough idea of what it's capable of should suffice. You can then consult the documentation to see the specifics of how to use it.

-How easy is it to pick up on? It's fairly easy to read and write, but is loosely defined and not strict at all (it's very easy to write buggy or insecure code with it, though it makes low-level access to hardware and memory easy). It's fairly straightforwards to pick up, but uses an extremely ungainly compilation model. Really, for applications programming (stuff like games, word processors or video players as opposed to operating systems and drivers) you'd probably be better off using languages that promote safety and ease of use (C#, Java, Visual Basic, Python). The only real reasons to stick to C or C++ are legacy code bases (not something which applies to beginners) or library availability (most libraries have interfaces for friendlier programming languages). |
