Have a look at TheNewBoston website. I've learned quite a bit from Bucky, even if he had me saying "go ahead now" and "go on ahead and" for weeks
That is... perfect. I love you

Easy tiger! The Java section has been quite helpful to me, and the VB. I was awesome in VB ~10 years ago but must have bumped my head 'coz it was all gone a while ago when I had to debug code on some internal applets at work. Couple of hours with Bucky and it all came back, so go on ahead and do some tutorials
If you REALLY want a helping hand into C get the C for Dummies All In One Desk Reference. really thorough, really easy, really big.![]()
Teach yourself C++ in 21 days:
Aren't 99% of those "For Dummies.." books regarded as being terrible? Much like "Learn X in 24 hours books."

Okay - first 'run to OcUK for help' post (and basically the first hurdle), but after watching Bucky's C tutorials and understand most of it i feel like giving C++ a go. Thing is he recommends Dev-C++ as a compiler/IDE. I hear that might not be a great choice since it doesn't seem to have been updated in five years and i can't find it in any repos (compiling from source sucks, unless it's from the AUR).
So, any recommendations?![]()
Yeah, but if i were going to use something like Notepad++ then why wouldn't i just use Gedit?
C is more than fine. Get learning how to do things and don't even consider devc++, get MS Visual Studio or GCC if you're running nix.
