Good source of C/C++ tutorials and help?

Hey guys,

I am away to start my third year of my electronics degree at Glasgow Uni. We need to do some C programming as a lot of embedded processors run on C, and I was wondering, if anyone could recommend some good sources of tutorials and help for C and C++ programming (after grasping C, I would like to be able to expand into C++ also). It's mainly so I can do some extra C/C++ programming in my spare time, and get a better grasp of the languages

I am all setup for an environment to use, as I managed to download Visual Studio 200u via the uni.

Hope you guys can help

Loads of C tutorials Here.

I did first year electronics at Glasgow last year. I've dropped it for maths and computing science though

http://www.cprogramming.com is an excellent resource, both for tutorials and very active community forums.

I was rather terrible at it

I'll stick with my Software Engineering degree.

Good sites for c++ are gamedev forums, code guru forums, good books for c++ are accelerated c++, the straustrup book and effective c++ by meyers. Can't help you with the c but c++ is so much better

C primer plus is a really good C beginner book, and the same author also does a C++ one.

Haha. Whilst C++ may be better, I need to know C also

Can't avoid the C because I need it

Hmm embedded - well sticking with C would be my first thought.

To get a C/C++ standard library running on your platform would require it to be compiled for the target. You can program C for an embedded platform without needing to use the standard libraries (no printf() etc). C++ requires those libraries in reality.
