Jonny D's C++ Tutorial

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
