C++ for Dummies is a great way to learn, but i'ld say video tutorials along side C++ for D are best for begginers.. well untill you get a basic knowledge heres a great site for free video tutorials

Is it easier to learn C++ if you learn C programming language first?

We Answered:

Of course its easier, C++ is highly based on C

Johnny Said:

Is it necessery to know maths to learn programming language like 'C' ?

We Answered:

In a general sense.. yes, absolutely. You need to know 'some' mathematics. If you mean high level college Calculus and beyond, no.

It helps to know high level mathematics for the theory and 'logic' used.. that is the practical application of much of mathematics when it goes beyond every day use. However, when entering some applications you will need to know the use of some function based input and output to create 3d imagery , etc. This is a bit advanced, but if you have basic algebra knowledge it isn't terribly difficult.

You can accomplish alot without anything beyond basic mathematics,.. but to *master* everything you will need some study of advanced algebra with basic trig and calculus. So something like a college level "intro to Calculus and Trig" would suffice for most things. Though the more math you master you will be able to apply it to your programming at some point, and at others it will have no use.

It is a great deal in what you want to do with the language.

You can never truly 'master' it, because programming is much like an art -- which is , imo, not masterable. There are infinite combinations that no one person can achieve, of course... But you can be really really really REALLY good. :)

Felicia Said:

which course is best to learn learn after programming language C?

We Answered:

I learned C and Python First.
My reccomendation is moving onto Python, Ruby, or the like.
There are many miscellianious different languages out there, including vb.net.

make your decision, really. choose something unique.
(although, Python and Ruby is where the $$ is)

You can download Gcc which runs on Linux and Windows. It is a free compiler.
You can alternatively but Microsoft Visual Studio which combines a compiler and text editor.

Sonia Said:

I am in middle school but I am very much interested to learn C language. How can I install C language program?

We Answered:

Microsoft offers "Express" versions of their programming languages. That is for Visual C++ .NET.

If you want to learn C, then I suggest getting a book. Look for the books that have a CD with them. They will have example programs and a lot of times have the free C compilers with them as well.


Probably the best book out there for beginners, but has no CD with it: http://www.amazon.com/C%2B%2B-Without-Fe…

SAMS, and QUE make good programming books in general. So check out ones by those two publishing companies. Also look for C programming book by Ivor Horton. His books are HUGE, but really easy to understand.

Whatever you do though, PLEASE stay away from Dummies books. They are known to be poorly written and often have mistakes in your code....You'll be sitting there for hours wondering why your simple "Hello World" program won't work.
