Getting Started With Computer Programming  
« on: Sep 11th, 2011, 5:32pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
I am looking to start learning some form of computer programming. I have seen a friend code c++ and I enjoyed the concept. Since this will be my first language, is that a good place to start?
 
Also, I want to do this legally. is there a free way to learn how to code with compilers and whatnot or must I buy some form of software(I am glad to buy it if needed but free is better)
 
Thanks in advance for the help.

You don't need to buy software to program in C++, there are free compilers you can use. For example there's gcc, which you can use under linux, or via cygwin under windows.

Hi!
 
after you have downloaded the GCC, you need to tight the grip on programming logic and as clear you understand the different concepts, your programming will improve.  
 
there are a lots of topics like polymorphism, inheritance, classes, interfaces etc. programming is by practice.
 
Thinking in C++ is nice book for beginners and very easy to understand. http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=6634.
 
If you need any help pm me. Cheers

You can also try visual c++ for this task
It has a friendly user interface and ablity to debug.
