Thread: Introduction and Video Tutorials

Hello All.

I am new to this board and I am making my first serious attempt to learn programming. I am currently taking the Stanford Online Introduction to Computer Science course. I have also decided to take my first plunge into learning a computer language. The online course I am taking uses a version of Java to teach but, I have decided to learn C/C++ as both languages have some relevance in my work place.

I purchased C Primer Plus by Stephen Prata [6th Edition] and I plan on working my way through the 1000+ pages of this book. I am wondering if anyone knows of any good video tutorials online that focus on C, that I could use to compliment the lessons in the book.

Thanks,
JayBari

Thank you for replying Elysia. I am aware that these are two different languages. In my original post, I grouped them as being relevant in the my workplace not as being one language. I should have been more clear. I know that this is common misconception, due to C++ having its roots in C. From my understanding C++ started as a near superset of C designed to take advantage of object oriented programming methods and since its inception it has grown substantially. The roots of these languages are similar but object oriented programming and procedural programming are two different things entirely.
