What are some good ways to learn C++?

Name: Anonymous 2011-05-03 18:11

By that I mean what are some easy and efficient tutorials/guides that those of you who are more experienced in C++ can recommend?

The only good recommendation on learning C++ is don't learn C++.

There's plenty of basic tutorials scattered throughout the internet. Most of them are at least decent.

Just don't. Learn Python.

Thank you for sharing the link.

A lot of people have told me to just learn Perl or Python instead. Why is this? And out of those two (Perl/Python), which one would be more efficient to learn?

If you wanna become a professional developer you pretty much have to learn sepples a bit to be taken seriously and python is more the kind of language that you pick up on the fly when you have to, which is no problem with a background in c like languages.

On the other hand if you wanna learn to program for fun you shouldn't bother with c++ and learn haskell/lisp instead.

Of course you should learn haskell/lisp anyway.

Learn Lisp/Scheme or Haskell, and read SICP. Stay away from Clojure, it's not Lisp, it's parenthesized shit that pretends to be Lisp. Don't lose time with Python/Perl/Ruby, it's all the same shit served with different syntax, that's all.

If you want to go ENTERPRISE, learn C#, which is the ENTERPRISE language that sucks less. Read your SICP before getting in the ENTERPRISE world.

If you want to go ``low-level'', learn your architecture's assembly (probably x86), and learnimplement FORTH. Racommended reading: jonesforth while going through implementing it, Thinking Forth for the rest.
C is a badly designed, shitty toy language we still have to deal today because of the scurge ``Worse is Better'' is, but you still have to know it. Read K&R for that, but learn FORTH first.

Just wanted to clarify
learn C#, which is the ENTERPRISE language that sucks less.
Between Java, C++, C# and VB.NET, which would you choose? Neither, right, but at least C# has decent lambdas.

lol name one real world application that was written in lisp

implying C++11 doesn't have decent lambdas


std::for_each(1, 100, [](int x) { std::printf("%d\n", x); });

implying lambdas are even useful

U MENA AutoLISP, which is an API for AutoCAD

AutoCAD itself was written in C. Good day.

Read any book on basics.  Really, any book will do.  Then read C++ FQA thoroughly, because C++ FQA amounts for 80% of useful information on C++ intricacies out there.
Actually disregard that, don't waste your time on C++, you don't have enough brain power anyway.

any language that calls anonymous subroutines ``lambdas'' is bound to fuck them up

They work in Lisp.
