Four Best C++ Training Tutorials and Books
The CPlusPlus Tutorial - Complete C++ Language Tutorial:This tutorial is for those people who want to learn programming in C++ and not necessarily have any previous knowledge of other programming languages. Many sections include an additional page with specific examples that describe the use of the newly acquired knowledge in that chapter. It is recommended to read these examples and be able to understand each of the code lines that constitute it before passing to the next chapter. A good way to gain experience with a programming language is by modifying and adding new functionalities by your own to the example programs that you can fully understand. Don't be scared to modify the examples provided with this tutorial.
- Introduction
- 1. Basics of C++.
- 2. Control structures and Functions.
- 3. Advanced Data.
- Arrays.
- Strings of Characters.
- Pointers.
- Dynamic Memory.
- Structures.
- User defined data types. (typedef, union, enum)
- 4. Object-oriented Programming.
- 5. Advanced concepts.
- Templates.
- Namespaces.
- Exception handling.
- Advanced classes type-casting. (new cast and typeid operators)
- Preprocessor directives.
- 6. C++ Standard Library.
- Epilogue.
Note: For further information on how to compile the C++ programs in this tutorial please go here: Compilation of Console Programs.
This tutorial is best used while sitting in front of your computer. It is designed to help you gain experience with your own C++ compiler in addition to teaching you the proper use of C++. Display an example program on the monitor, using whatever text editor you usually use, and read the accompanying text which will describe each new construct introduced in the example program. After you study the program, and understand the new constructs, compile and execute the program with your C++ compiler.

C++ In Action:This online book is divided into three parts, the Language, the Techniques, and the Software Project. The first part teaches C++, but doesn't concentrate on syntax or grammar - it shows how to express certain ideas in C++. The goal of the second part of the book, The Techniques, is to make possible the transition from 'weekend programming' to 'industrial strength programming.' The third part describes the large-scale aspects of software development. I will concentrate on the dynamics of a software project, both from the point of view of management and planning as well as development strategies and tactics.
