I have never programmed anything before, I must learn C++ , what are the best books/tutorials for learning?

I have no programming experience whatsoever and am looking for a C++ book/resource that will be easy to understand and effective at teaching me how to program...I have never programmed anything before, I must learn C++ , what are the best books/tutorials for learning?
I remember when I first got to college and started learning computer programming. C language is the prerequisite in learning C++ so I suggest you to a quick study to start you get the hang of the language (variables, functions, libraries, etc). You can also check the internet for some tutorial.

I have taught programming in night classes and I would recommend you teach from the roots so your student will understand the whole concept of programming.

Now after you know how C goes you can delve into C++. Heres a list of books that helped me a lot.





The Beginner's Guide to C++ by Oleg Yaroshenko


http://www.amazon.com/Beginners-Guide-C-鈥?/a>





This one I like the most.


C++: A Beginner's Guide, Second Edition by Herbert Schildt

This one my cousin lend me which fun on the examples.


C++ For Dummies, 5th Edition by Stephen Randy Davis

And the last I can recommend you is to have a C++ IDE where you can test you program and really learn first hand and also see the results





Here are some free compilers.


Bloodshed Dev C++

Eclipse C/C++ Development Tooling - CDT

First - before you learn ANY computer language - you have to learn computer programming. This is the best book for that http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0鈥?/a>





Then ';Teach yourself C++ in 21 Days'; would be best - you can use this site http://newdata.box.sk/bx/c/





But learning the language before you learn programming is like learning French to be able to fly a jet in France. You don't learn programming by learning a computer language - you just learn how to get confused.
C++ is not an easy language to start with. Lot's of object oriented stuff like polymorphism, inheritance, etc are difficult for the beginner, as is the use of pointers, structures, etc.
try this website there are a lot of c++ tutorials http://learnfobia.com
delve in at the deep end!
