wanting to learn C / C++
Posted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 4:58 am
Hi Guys,
Ive always been interested in learning c / c++ but having looked into it a few times ive always been overawed with the syntax, compilers, development environments etc, just picking a compiler, with minimal knowledge myself, has been a chore in itself.
For someone who is coming from purely a web based programming background would you recommend any excellent sites / resources for complete newbies? with simple to follow tutorials? I am interested in the whole game development side of things, maybe looking into the HL2 SDK for eg and modifying later down the line to get to grips with how game engines work etc.........
Obviously, im one man, i dont expect to build a game engine in my lifetime but it does fascinate me, any nods in the right direction guys?
Cheers, Mal
