C++

Hello every body I have been coding for a long time now but I have been coding mostly cmd and bat. I have now started to mess with C++ I have the Dev-c++ compiler. so far the only program i have made is a simple file that says Hello and that's it. I was hoping that you guys and gals out there could help me out and give me a few helpful web sites and tips.

For instance, in Java you have a garbage collector who cleanups the memory after you, while in C++ you have to take care of freeing the memory. Another difference, in Java you can inherit only one class and expand multiple interfaces, while in C++ you can inherit ass many classes as you want and the abstract class in C++ differs a bit from the interface in Java. There are many differences, many of which I can't remember quite now, but you can find out reading a bit about every language in particular.

Or just google for C/C++ tutorials. I would say if you've done a high level language like Java before go straight to C++ and don't worry about C. C++ has very similar concepts to Java and after learning Java I understood C++ better.

Comment by Wacky Wabbit on March 27, 2009 at 1:21pm: I recomend you start learning C first, then move up to C++. For C++ I recommend you one good book: "Bjarne Stroustrup: The C++ Programming Language, Adisson-Wesley, 3nd edition, 1997". And give up on Dev-C++, it's preety old and full of bugs. Try XCode on Mac, Anjuta/Kdevelop on linux or Eclipse and (God forgive me for telling this) Visual Studio on Windows. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me. I've been programming in C/C++ for the past 6 years.

These higher-level languages are much easier to learn, and are equally as powerful. Python would be you best bet, it is a great language.
