I want to be a programmer; and I want to learn the basics of C++. Can anyone give me any pointers on how to start? I'm currently a complete novice and have no programming experience.

    This is going to be controversial, but: Don't start with C++ (at least not if you don't have a teacher/mentor). It's so easy to adapt bad habits when following random online tutorials for C++ (the usual C++ questions on stackoverflow give a short overview of this...). – us2012 Jan 22 '13 at 21:36

    Check some stuff on YouTube. For someone learning from the very beginning I suggest looking for and learning about Object Oriented Programming, learn Data Structures first. As you learn through Data Structures you should be learning a decent bit about C++. – Walls Jan 22 '13 at 21:37
  • I'd go with 'Programming Principals and Practice using C++' from that book list. – bames53 Jan 22 '13 at 23:03
  • Try to learn c first.IMHO – joey rohan Jan 23 '13 at 15:27

There are lots of tutorials available online. Just search for tutorial and C++. Here is one for instance:

An alternative would be to invest in a book!
