Where should I go

[Day Vide]

I want to master c++.

I've looked at thenewbostons tutorials on youtube.

Now where should I go ?

Believe me, we all want to do that.

Now where should I go ?

Depends on what would you like to develop.

I know some good C++ and hopefully I can teach you. You can email me and I will guide you if I can.

Here is my email : [e-mail]

Edit : Follow the cire's advice.

To the OP: I would highly recommend not responding to Mantor22. His "good" C++ is pretty horrible.

To Mantorr22: Don't advertise your "services" in the non-job forums - most consider it spam. Of course, you already know this from your previous troll accounts.

[Mantorr22]

To cire : I don't explicitly advertise myself for services, I don't create a thread for them.

Before that, I have tested this person, this person is not capable of C++ services at all.

I am sorry I am new, so I may have caused trouble. But I am not linked to any previous accounts.

Bjarne Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language, 4th. ed. would be a good starting point.
http://www.stroustrup.com/4th.html
That will take you through much of modern C++ and provides some perspective about what the language is designed for and how it accomplishes its' goals.

Stroustrup is the original designer of the language and is heavily involved in the standardization process, so the author is extremely qualified.

If the book is too much too fast then there's also an introductory text by the same author.
http://www.stroustrup.com/programming.html
I've not read this one so I can't vouch for it.

Note:
I'm sure you already know this, but I'm saying it anyways.
If you have a technical issue, you should prefer to ask about it publicly. That way the information you're given can be of benefit to people other than yourself, and you additionally get some insurance against bad advice and even deliberate maliciousness.

I would recommend not hiring a tutor for this reason. I'd also watch out for people who self-claim expertise, at least until that expertise is actually demonstrated.

Stroustrup's Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++, Second Edition is a good way to learn C++ as a series of tutorials.

It is not easy-breezy, simple. The text and examples are taken from Stroustrup's university course(s).

It does teach C++ without any real prior experience, and teaches C++ with focus on the fundamental concepts and techniques needed for programming in the real world.

The 2nd edition teaches modern C++ with C++11 and C++14 as an integral part of the language, not as something added on as many online tutorials do.

Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language, 4th. ed. is IMO more a reference than a learning tool. A must-have after gaining a solid grasp on C++.

This is just my opinion, YMMV.

It's telling that you felt you wanted to tell us that, since nobody in this thread (or anywhere else that I can see) has accused you of it.

One look at some of your recent posts suggests that, yes, you have been here under many different names before. Many, many names, and most of them restricted now.

I seldom recommend tutorials, but that is just my preference because I feel books have so much more details. For a beginner, though, I would say tutorials because that way you actually avoid all the details and get straight to learning the language.

The tutorials I feel are worth looking at are:
http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/forum/48-c-tutorials/
http://www.learncpp.com
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ (obviously)

Then the books I always recommend:

I'll give my usual answer, read these books in this order:
1) Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ 2nd Edition
2) C++ Primer 5th Edition
3) The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference
4) The C++ Programming Language (as a reference)

Reasons for my recommendations:
1) Is a book designed to help you learn to program (if you have never programmed before) using C++ as a tool. It is also the intro course book for several degrees at Texas A&M University. Not to mention it is written by Bjarne Stroustrup himself.

2) The usual recommendation for Beginner C++, but that phrase is a little misleading. It isn't a book for someone who as never programmed, but rather a book for a programmer who is experienced in another language and looking to learn C++ now. It covers C++ more in-depth.

3) Covers the standard library in-depth.

4) I recommend this purely as a reference book. It too is written by Bjarne Stroustrup. You can certainly read it cover to cover if you like, but it makes a better reference than a book about learning due to its technical nature.

Believe me, we all want to do that.

I don't. I just want to program, mastering it has never been a concern for me.

tutorials it's great but i think that courses will be more efficient
