Rate my Tutorial?
This first chapter took about two and a half hours to write, plus some minor editing this morning. I just don't want to complete it, only to find that nobody ever found it useful. This is just the first chapter, so I do feel I'm a bit long-winded.
(I think I'm ready to make a tutorial. I can make a full class/template, can use vectors, can do simple GUIs, etc. I still cannot install external libraries, though.)
Here it is: http://delvelop.x10.mx/yourfirst.html
This is in no way complete, and there are many things wrong with it, one being the title of the page just being 'C++ Tutorial'. I just want rating on the material, not the quality of the page. Thank you.

Pros: Looks good, simple basic and to the point.
All the information is together.
Cons: Shouldn't the second code blurb say "cout << "Hello world!" << endl;" (Error there :P).
Everyone learns Hello World first. Make your tutorial stand out and reach more people! Or at least make other tutorials like Console Games and other fun things. At the very least make "Hello World" fun :D. Also, I would change the colors of the site to make it more eye catching.
Rate: 7.5/10. Good start. Looks great so far. Hope you continue on.

dude that rocks.. I love it.
One small error though.. its MinGW GNU GCC that comes with the windows version, not GCC. There is a difference. However when you choose the compiler from the Drop Down it will show up as GNU GCC.

Thanks. I thought the comma was grammatically correct? I guess not. Maybe I could put in two or three lines of 'real' code in there, and show how 'endl' works. =)
Edit: I also made the textarea larger.

^ That is for smaller screens. Not everyone has 1920 x 1080 displays. I even made it mobile friendly, for those odd people doing C++ on Windows Phones.
Not bad, but there's a few parts where you could improve. I would recommend putting in some screenshots as visual aids. I felt like the program structure section came a little too early. Why not put it in before a future section on decision branching? Otherwise, you could also explain why the << symbols are needed, and how the << operator returns its left operand, so that's why you can chain statements. Also, perhaps something about whitespace?
