D's C++ Tutorial (for absolute beginners!) |
C++, I/O, Classes |
A tutorial for anyone who wants to learn how to program. It goes through a single program and explains everything. I'd almost bet that you haven't seen so many comments in source code! You'll go from #includes to classes. Also included is a complete little program that allows you an opportunity to read some bare code and try to figure it out. It's in an early stage and I'll need some feedback before I can work on it further. Tell me if you like it! | v1.0 1-19-07 |
