I have been trying to learn c++ but its so Fu@#in hard.I did my first project which was easy program but the next level was a bitch.
I was wondering if there is anyone on this forum that can maybe help me when i am introuble in realtime ....like skype or something.:confused:
 
been learning c++ for my unisa stuffs, not sure how much I can help, but you welcome to give a shout
 
deep deep deep
and waaaaay over my head
can't even set the time on a digital clock.
 
I wouldn't mind learning Symbian O/S which is based on C++.
Anyone who can program Symbian?
 
I've been coding in c/c++ for about 20 years. I don't find the coding part of C++ difficult BUT I do find breaking the problem into classes difficult. Further to that what data members are private, public or protected. Get it worong and you can end up in dwang get it right and you wonder what the problem is. Spend your time modelling the problem carefully.
 
Best to do would be to get a firm grip on C

then move on to C++

after all, C++ is like C, only enhanced beyond all obfuscation :D

if foo != fubar then... :D

I disagree. Learning pure C will only confuse the poor sods. Objects are a difficult concept. I f you get it, you get it. If not, there's always a simpler language.:D

Not really a language as it is a way of formatting a page ;)

Skeptic learning C wouldn't be a bad idea, it will help him become accustomed to the syntax. After that he can move on to OO style programming, breaking the problem into classes etc. The main difference between C and C++ is object orientation.

As mentioned above, the hardest part is breaking up the problem, solving each of the smaller parts, and then connecting them together again. Superpostion can be a bitch at times :p But it gives rise to a more robust and reusable code. So if he can get something done in C, there would probably be large parts of it that he could still implement in C++.

Tread lightly though and always search before you ask.

There are also c++ chat rooms on a few irc servers but YMMV there.

As far as I know there aren't any dedicated local mailing lists for c++.

Edit: Perhaps post your question again in this forum. I (probably others) only tend to read it sporadically and I haven't used c++ in many years but if I can help I will.
