There are plenty online, its just a matter of finding them ( google is your friend )\n\nhttp://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/\n\nhttp://www.mindview.net/\n\nwww.codeproject.com\n\nwww.pscode.com\n\nthe mindview site has books for java and c++ in pdf format along with example source code.

I personally think you should try Borland Builder C++, it's as intuitive as VB and as powerful as C++ too bad it's not as popular as VC (people think that just because microsoft wrote it it must be good)\nI've used all of them but it's been too long and actually if I had a choice and I was in your shoes, I'd go for learning Visual Studio.net and C#  because really that it's any better than C++ but unfortunatelly chances are that it will be much more in demand in the future.

Firstly, you should mention what level of programming you want to learn.\n\nAnd No, I don't think you will be able to learn college level c++ in 7 days on your own (unless of course if you know some other similar programming language like c or c# already, or in a remote circumstance are a programming whizkid)\n\nI would suggest that you take some private lessons for the next 7 days on c++ with somebody who really knows it and has been using it regularly off late.

You may gain some knowledge of C++ in 21 days: that is, its syntax, generals of object orientation, templates and even maybe get a glimpse of the Standard Template Library. But then you have to deal with libraries that help you acheive usefull and high-level things. \nThat can take months.

When it comes to programming books, O'Reilly is pretty much the gold standard:\nhttp://www.oreilly.com/pub/topic/cprog\n\nBut if you're on a budget, you can find a dozen or so free on-line books on C++ programming here:\nhttp://www.freeprogrammingresources.com/cppbooks.html

If you're talking about C++ programming, then ANY local bookstore should have something on the subject. If not, then the 'net is a grand place to go.

Frankly, you'll find it tricky to start learning programming languages on your own, since setting up your computer to run programs you write yourself can be a tricky process.\n\nIf you use Mac OS X, PHP should be bundled. Try to edit a file "test.php" using a basic editor with the following:\n\n<?php\necho "hello world";\n?>\n\nThen open a system shell (gotta know what this is to write programs), navigate to the directory that contains test.php, and type "php test.php"\n\nIf you use Windows, read this - http://php.net/install.windows - to get started, then repeat from where you edit the file. You can edit PHP files using Notepad in Windows, but you have to be sure to select "all files" when you save a file.\n\nFor both Mac and Windows, I recommend JEdit, which is totally free (http://jedit.org)\n\nAbsolutely do not worry about cost when it comes to writing software. The best tools and languages are totally free, including PHP and C++

Some tutorials I found are:\nhttp://cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ , \nhttp://www.zeuscmd.com/tutorials/cplusplus/index.php -- also has source code written specifically for Dev-C++ , \nand http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html#c++tutorial\n\n\nHere is a program that prints out "Hello World":\n\n#include <iostream>\nusing namespace std;\n\nint main()\n{\ncout << "Hello World" << endl;\n\nsystem("pause");\nreturn 0;\n}\n\n\nAlso, http://koders.com/ is a source code search engine that you can use.

I use "C++ How to Program" by Deitel & Deitel.\nIt's really good

Hi there you can go to www.cplusplus.com\nOr if you want help ina specific topic just goolgle iT. fOR example\narrays in C++ go to i'm feeling lucky

C++ for dummies it will take you step by step and some cool features

There are many good books like " Complete Reference to C++ " , " Let us C++ "....etc... First be perfect with the basic knowledge of C++ using these books.... Then try some simple projects by referring some other books like "C++ Projects" etc ... By that time you will automatically be a good programmer and thus you can try bigger projects that involve graphics like Game projects and software design etc...... I hope its not a bad explaination from me..... :)

To really hone your abilities I recommend looking over some of the programming contest problem archives.  They are on the level of a week-long programming assignment in college and teach a variety of different skills: working from problem description to solution, basic data structures, basic algorithms, testing exterme cases...\n\nBeing able to solve problems like these will prepare you for any challenge you will come across :-)\n\nI am also including a few links to C++ resources for you.\n\nGood luck :-)
