xoax.net is a really good website to learn about C++ because it shows you how to download the FREE Microsoft's version of their Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Visual C++ 2008 Express and use it to create C++ programs…and they also include many video tutorials for learning C++:

How do I learn Programming C?

We Answered:

You should have a basic feel for the Windows command line and get familiar with a text editor and a compiler because they will be your new best friends.

As for learning it? You can find everything from ebooks, forums, and tutorials with a quick Google search.

What is the best website where I can learn C# programming for free?

We Answered:

http://www.csharp-station.com/

There's free E-Books you can download as well, such as " C# for Dummies."

What I really recommend is the C# for Dummies book , C# 3.0 The Complete Reference, as well websites like Csharp-Station.com and you can use Google.

What is the easiest to learn C based programming language?

We Answered:

It might help to know what you are "moving into" from. C# is more a Java-based language than a C-based language. Java is inspired by C, though, so you could call both of them C-based, I guess.

If you want to develop games, I suggest you start with a simple environment for 2-D games and then add complexity gradually. Even the most basic book or course on game programming is going to assume you already know something about programming. So, work you way through most or all of a basic book on programming in some language. I'll suggest Java, not because the language is better than C#, but because the books on Java tend to be better. I'll suggest "Head First Java, 2nd Ed." by Bates and Sierra as something that will set you back less than a movie date for a used copy, or a movie date plus popcorn and drinks for new.

Then get a book on beginning game programming in that same language. Again, more choices in Java (and C++) than in C#. Consider "Beginning Java 5 Game Programming, 2nd Ed." by Jonathan S. Harbour, which will take you through the development, from scratch, of a 2D arcade-style game (Asteroids-like) complete with sprites, sprite animation, sound effects and music.

From there, you can progress to different languages and/or environments. 'Droid apps are mostly written in Java, iPhone apps are mostly written in Objective-C, Xbox 360 apps are mostly written in C# using the XNA framework, Flash has it's own custom language, ActionScript, and the list goes on...

What is the easiest, most productive way to learn C Programming?

We Answered:

I'm a bit confused with your question. If the school requires that you take it, don't they offer it?

That aside, your best bet it probably to pick up a book on C such as the 24 hour series by Sams. I'd stay away from the Dummies guides as I've heard there are some problems with some of their code books. I'd also stay away from the K&R book on C as it will probably be way over your head as a beginner.

Wrox and O'Reilly are also good sources of technical books as well.

Whatever book you get, check for one with a CD with all examples from the book and a compiler so it makes it less for you to have to type in.

You're also going to need a text editor. While notepad will do the job, I'd recommend ConText http://www.contexteditor.org/ because it will do syntax highlighting - which will be a big help.

Hope that helps!

Can anyone tell me where i can learn C++ programming for beginner?

We Answered:

Your local library, google, or perhaps a college or university.

If you can think process a logical sequence of events, you can write programs; however, you have to be determined enough to actually find the information you need on your own.
