I'd like to start learning C++

[Sedako]

Does anyone know of any in-depth online tutorials that would allow me to learn C++?

3DBuzz supposedly has some great C++ videos.

If it's anything like their C#/XNA series as far as the extremely great level of teaching and making things clear, then it'll be fabulous.

Costs money though. You can either buy the whole thing or be a member sponder with a fairly hefty monthly fee to look at any of the videos they offer on their site.

Start by learning C.
Just type "C tutorial" in Google and see what happens.

There are tutorials on cplusplus.com: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
I don't know if they're any good, but the documentation is pretty good.

Don't learn C first, just stick with C++.

Learn Python/Ruby/Assembly first if you're really interested in programming.

C++ for dummies is always a good read. Full of great info and tutorials.

Anything for dummies is usually good.

i would strongly suggest that anyone who is interested in pursuing programming as a career to learn C , it might not be that useful anymore but it refines your understanding of how computers works and what their limitations are.

May as well go all the way to assembly, then, the epitome of "not that useful anymore but it refines your understanding of how computers works and what their limitations are."

I feel that, at the moment, OO design is probably the most useful skill you can have if you want to get a job, so it makes sense to start with Java, C++, or C#. Of course, if you're serious you should get some exposure to at least an assembly language, C, and a widely used scripting language. Light dabbling in functional programming couldn't hurt, either.

Quite right. Everything makes a lot more sense after learning C.

Cplusplus.com.

Great newbie site.

BTW, C++ is more newbie friendly than C.
I'd suggest playing around with C++ first and then C. Java and Python are really for more experienced programmers.

Stay away from Visual Basic though. It's the most useless programming language ever created unless you want to work for M$.
