Best source to learn C++ from for free?

I've never learned a programming language before, so I'm wondering what would be the easiest free online source I could learn C++.

Best source to learn C++ from for free?
Download and install DEV-C++:

Then you will need to study some tutorials about the language:

Try to develop full operational programs from the concept at the project to deployment itself if you really want to work with C++.
Reply:The best resource for learning C++ is not online. It's your library. Most libraries have one or more books about programming in C or C++ and publishers like McGraw-Hill and O'Reilly (to name just two) have published a number of excellent books. Maybe your library doesn't but there has to be a larger library nearbye where you can look at this sort of books.





Dev-C++ is a port of GCC to Windows. GCC is used on Unix and Linux, and the Mac OS has a version which is part of their Xcode package. Nobody calls it the best compiler out there right now (maybe some people ;-)) but there's some evidence to support it. And it's free. If you look online you will also find free versions of various Borland Turbo compilers which can be quite good.





Most of us learned an interpreted or scripting language before we learned a compiled language like C++. Actually if you've used the shell in quake or other cheat codes, you may well have done some scripting or programming. Anyhow C++ is a very complicated language and there is a lot to learn and do not underestimate the help you can get from tutors and/or books. You can get a compiler off the net for free, you can get tutorials too. I'd go talk to my local reference librarian though, if I were you.
