For a beginner, where is the best place to learn C++?

Please don't recommend a physical book, as I do not learn well with books (as far as programming goes). eBooks are okay.

Anyone have any recommendations?

If you are able to, I would recommend a class. That's how I started learning, as I'm a Computer Science major in school. I'm a freshman this year, and my professor is terrible at explaining things, but if you can read the syntax then you'll be able to follow along. The best way to start out would be watching videos and or reading. Doing both would be pretty good too. Hope it helps.

If you're looking for someone to work with, I'd gladly work with you and give you a few basic lessons on how to start out. Hit me up on Skype or PM me.

I wouldn't say it's the best, but C programming.com - Learn C and C++ Programming is where i learned from.

If you like videos instead of books you should look at XoaX.net Console C++ Video Tutorials. They're sorta game based, but good learning I think.

Thanks so much for the recommendations!

Also, learn how to read reference material. No programmer will memorize all the libraries of a language but if you can read reference properly and understand how to use a method or class from it then you will be able to pick things up very quickly.

Are you new to c++ or programming in general?

I'm new to C++, I've decided to learn C, then C++, but figured I could get a good jump start with C++ by having the necessary resources for when I am ready.

C/C++ are very similar languages. One of the differences is that C is a more low-level language, while C++ is more object-oriented.

I also learned C++ from cprogramming.com, but then I realized that most of the language structures are actually C, with some additions, which make it C++.
