is there a way to learn C++ really fast?

[nostgard]

Yeah, so that's not going to help you much, unfortunately. I'm saying that you should get your hands on the actual C++ code and work with that. Hell, you could get the AdminMod source and learn how they did that.

Object-Oriented Programming in C++
Second Edition
By Robert Lafore
ISBN: 1-878739-73-5

Very very good book to get you started, and goes pretty deep into c++ itself (chapters 1-6 Basic C code to get general idea, chapters 7-18 + 6 Appendixes about c++, objects and everything to do with them)

take a look at your PMs - sent ya a link to a better deal

I started with Turbo PASCAL during the spring term. I didn't care much for it and I thought I was going to die trying to do C++. Well, this term I am taking Visual Basic AND C++ (Got Visual Studio.NET professional for free) and I gotta say, C++ isn't all that difficult. I can definently say my experience with PASCAL helped me significantly. Visual Basic is easy to, especially in Visual Studio .NET, but I like C++ better.

This is probably a really stupid question but what exactly is AMX?

I'm learning VB6 (well.. practically done with VB6) and Java right now, and hope to try and hop from Java to C++, then hopefully end up working on a HL2 mod, so thats why I wanna know.

It would probably take you a week or two of really hard work to get the basics down (iostreams, functions, classes, pointers, etc.), but you can expect to spend several months practicing and figuring out how to make the language work for you. Beyond that, it takes years to really become an "expert". The only way to learn is by doing.

If anyone could just pick up a C++ book and learn everything in a few days, do you think coders would be getting paid huge sums of money for tiny little programs?

Ask for programming classes in school
(if you're still in school that is)


More C++ to the people!
