Buy a book
Reply:hello chap google basic c++ n u will get some hits and maybe some crash courses about it..Or u can download a prg called microsoft visual studio but i do recommend u read a bit b4 u plunge into this prg..go to the nearest library and pick a beginners book in programming.good luck its fun once u get the hand of it...
Reply:Do it like you would do sports if you wanted to become good at it, learn the basics and maybe even the history of it to understand it. I would start with it's history of the computer and go from their. For you start with dos.
Reply:I don't understand why you have to study C++ at 14 ....anyway first go to a library and find a good C++ book ...go through the basics ...... download the C++ compiler to your system (Borland 5.5) here's a website whr u would find the compiler :

its a free compiler.....k...after you have downloaded the compiler search the web for the instructions on how to run the compiler...





all done u are ready to roll on ..
Reply:I was your age when I got interested in programming. My first programming book was "C For Dummies" and it came with a trial version MS Visual C++ compiler. I suggest you find a book like that which has everything you need to get started and explains how to do things in clear English. Good luck!
Reply:search for online guides in C# and C++. Get into the community. Use open source programs and study the code and learn what functions do what.
Reply:if you can't find a class at your community college (you can sign up for classes at the community college even if you aren't out of high school yet) i suggest going on half.com and ordering a ton of books (you can get them much cheaper there used than you would pay in a bookstore) and dedicating an hour or two each day to reading and practicing. also, there's tons of research online available.





remember, coding is a difficult thing to grasp, but once you've got how to think in order to program, things start coming together. remember, just be patient with yourself, and don't try to learn overnight.
Reply:Don't remember that old programmers don't use a mouse, that's stupid advise. That's what old programmers say, you need to embrace technology. Programmers work toward moving technology forward, not living in the console days.





Anyways, the best thing to do would be get Microsoft Visual C++ Express http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/ which is free.





You can either search the web for good C++ tutorials, or if you have some money C++ for dummies is a great book to start with. http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesT...





If I was you I wouldn't program in VI and UNIX unless you are comfortable in that environment already because you will be have enough trouble learning C++ without the extra challenges learning VI and UNIX.
Reply:i was 13 when i started learning c++ now im 15 and i program video games. I started out with books and sites like www.cplusplus.com if your fluent with computers you should learn easily, i was pretty good with computers before i started programming but after i know about 90 times more.
Reply:Best thing to do is get an old PC and install Linux on it. Then learn Vi and start writing code. Linux comes complete with gcc and all the libraries you need for c++. Remember, real programmers don't use a mouse so do everything in the console.
Reply:First, C++ isn't easy to learn, but age shouldn't affect you much. The younger you are the faster you learn.
