Hi im new to programming in c++ and just wondering what i should use to start learning, as in what compilers and what tutorials.
i have downloaded a book called c++ essentials which covers the very basics of C++.
ATM i am just looking for a small compiler(i only have dial up) so that i can test what i am writing and see how the examples work.
Any help is greatly appreciated :D .
Hey man, nice to met someone who's same from me, just started today. Ok I'm using a free C++ comiler, download here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/d....9.2_setup.exe
I'm reading tutorials from this site, here's the link http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/
sweet thanks man. yer i just started reading this tutorial book downloaded it last nite from www.pragsoft.com . its really good for learning but its 311 pages long. its called c++ essentials. but yer it is good to meet some one in the same level.
go to www.cprogramming.com, go to tools and click on compilers. find the link for Bloodshed Dev-C++. This is a pretty good compiler for beginners ( I still use it ) although the commercial ones a probably a lot better.
The tutorials on this site are real informative, but you might also try a book called C++ Without Fear by Brian Overland. It is a good resource for people new to C++. Gives good examples and explanations (if not overly basic) and comes with a freeware CD that has a compiler on it. The book runs about $25 but you can probably find it at the local library too.

im using the bloodshed compiler and i didnt have that problem. strange. any file needed really should have come with the install file. i checked my directory and found 2 files:
one called: make
another called: mingw32-make
these where in the bin folder under the dev-Cpp directory? maybe its those files???
ok now thats out of the way i would like to know how to add an icon to a application: atm the code looks like this:
and dont worry this isnt a school project or anything this is personal learning.Code:#include <iostream.h>
int main (void)
{
double fahrenheit;
double celsius;
cout << "Temperature in Fahrenhait: ";
cin >> fahrenheit;
celsius = 5 * (fahrenheit - 32) / 9;
cout << fahrenheit << " degrees Fahrenheit = "
<< celsius << " degrees Celsius\n";
cin.ignore();
cin.get();
return 0;
}
