First let`s talk about programming. What programming really means? Programming means to write the source-code of a program. The source code is the human-readable part of a program. When a program is running it tell the computer what to do, but the computer don`t understands human languages. This is the reason why we need a Compiler. A compiler is a program what translates the human-readable code to machine code what is understood by the computer.

You probably think that the computer is very wise, but it`s not. The computer it`s able only to follow simple instructions. In the following lessons we will learn about giving some basic instruction to the computer using C++. C++ is a very powerful programming language, many of the newest and best games are made in C++.

Ok, now that you know what means to program you are just one step from starting to program. As I mentioned above, the human-readable code must be translated to machine code. To translate the code we need a compiler. You can choose from many compiler, but I will choose Visual C++ Express from Microsoft. Visual C++ 2010 can be download for free from here.

It`s easy to install it and I think that somebody who wants to program knows how to install a simple program or a game. Note: Download only the Visual C++ Express, we will use only this one.

In the following lesson you will see lots of example codes and downloadable source-codes at each lesson, but don`t just copy it, try to write it on yourself (multiple times if you think), because the best way to learn programming is practicing.

Where's the tutorial?

[NastyDevil]

Yeah... Winged i think he is just link building for his website, so just pasted a small paragraph with a link to his own website to get users from codecall..... Either way there is no tutorial.

[opwuaioc]

The website is the tutorial... Here are all the lessons. I couldn't find the paragraph written anywhere else online, so I assume it's original content and valid, no?

Not to make any accusations but did you forget to switch to your second account before posting this?

Edit: my appologies, i actually assumed you were trying to promote your site like that... sorry.

No, I'm not Csabi. I was point out that the website was the tutorial, and that a google search for the first line turned up no results except for here and there. Thus I assume it's a valid tutorial, i.e. not something copied and pasted from somewhere else to gain website rankings for monetary purposes.

Google is your friend, and you really ought not to make base accusations.

[Csabi]

Sorry for this misunderstanding. I have a series of lessons about C++, and I want to post them all here. This is the first one, this is just a short introducing. I hope the next tutorials will be better.

First I learned Java and now I heading back to C++. Thanks for tutorials because this is the best time for me.

I would not say it like that ... I'd define Programming as Understanding of Program/Computer language and/or Understanding of Computer Logics....but that's what I mean and no offense please )
