    I got your point though I don't see it is surprising. I know lots of people who know C# [and/or Java] but have no clear understanding of what is C++; they think C++ is hard to learn and to use so why to do hard things when one could earn by 'easy programming'. But I think C++ is great and in any time with any experience if someone has decided to learn it, by no matters it is late.

    well, i did find it a little surprising. I believe that most of the people learn programming starting with C/C++, which i still believe is the right approach. :)

      Like everyone said, C# and C++ are very different, you should work through a book even if you know a lot of stuff already.

      Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog "I am working on a project that will convert a FORTRAN code to corresponding C++ code.I am not aware of FORTRAN syntax" ( spotted in the C++/CLI forum )

          You have experience in c# but c# is not c++. It won't be a waste of time if you take a look on a "newbie" manual and go through the things you already know. There may be a lot of tiny differences that you think are obvious but make your programm going wrong. On the other hand... Use google with "manual c++ advance" there should be manuals for all kinds and tastes. Or just go through articles in C++ section here in codeproject.

            Hello everybody, I'm looking for a good tutorial about starting with c++, I've programming experience with c# (2 years)... All the tutorials that I found were for people who don't have programming experience, i don't want to re-learn if statements and so on :) waiste of time ;P (my opinion) Where can I start with c++? What is the best way to start with c++? What do I need to know about c++ before i start? I hope that you have some good refferences for me :) Thanks in advance!!!

                Nah... i guess its good for beginners and not for someone who already has a programming experience.

                    Since you are used to programming, i can recommend you the following books (in no order of priority). The C++ Programming Language - by Bjarne Stroustrup. C++ - The Complete Reference. C++ Primer - by Stanley Lippman and Josse Lajoie. you can use any of the above book to start with. :)

                          Try Koenig/Moo "Accelerated C++" (Teaser here[^]) A little old, but your target isn't moving too fast....

                            Hi, I learned C the first year of my Engineering Degree, Borland C++ v1.5 in my 2nd year and ensambler on the 3rd. But not so deep. Afterwards I have use ActionScript for Flash MX 2004, a bit of java and sql. But the most knowledge about C++ I have, comes from sites like that, MSDN, 4 or 5 manuals I founded in Internet (some on English some on Spanish) and with the old "Try and Error" (specially this last). The manuals I have used are: "Advanced MFC Programming.pdf" "Learn the MFC C++ Classes.pdf" "SAMS teachs you VC++60 Unleashed" (web site) "Aprenda C++ como si estuviera en 1°.pdf" (from Universidad politecnica de navarra - Spain) But the 3 on english are MFC-Oriented, they are not pure C++. I recommend you to search the "C++ Standard" and take a look on it. It's the best place to know the most important features and how are they to be used.

                            Greetings. -------- M.D.V. If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
