Hi, I'm planning on learning c++ and was wondering if someone here would be able to recommend some sort of online c++ course or class. I'm not opposed to using a book but I figured a class would be more interactive and would allow me to ask questions about topics I'm confused about. The extra accountability would also be a positive factor. I'm homeschooled in 8th grade and I'm not particularly concerned about any type of college credit. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
You could start with the tutorial from this site (which can be downloaded as a pdf), but it only deals with console apps (at least the one I downloaded does). Or you could download SFML and use the online tutorials there (those cannot be downloaded as pdf, though you can download the individual pages which takes some time).
Start with the tutorial on this site before moving on to SFML. I can tell you from experiance that although you may be able to mimic what is on SFML, you won't develop a functional understanding of C++ from those tutorials.
If your school offers a Computer Science class, then you should take it. Make sure to sign up for an actual programming class, and not just a 'computer' class. I know that my school has 'computer' classes that are a total joke. If you can't get into a class, I definitely recommend a book. The sites tutorial is nice, but a book is more convenient. Just search the site for "C++ books" and you'll probably find some.
