Where To Start Learning C++
I am in 8th grade and I really want to start programming C++ on Xcode (I have a Mac) so that I can make my very own iPhone apps. I have looked all over and I was just wondering what the best place to start learning is if I have no programming background at all (except I know a bit about HTML). I do not really want to take a class or something. I just want a book or something online. Please get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank You!
Thank You!
There's a tutorial on this site. You might have luck googling "using c++ in mac" or "c++ with xcode".
Put those two together and you'll good to go and writing programs in no time. Getting familiar with objective-c which is what I believe Iphone uses is a definitely different than c++ though. It will be easy to make the transition though.
Also the best way to learn is by reading/writing code. So you got any favorite programs... while reading the tutorial kinda look at those and learn how to compile them from the start. Changing around things etc.

But as brokenbot said, you need to learn Objective-C if you want to develop iPhone apps.
As you already own a Mac, you can get hold the required tools from Apple. The first tutorial at iCode explains how: http://www.icodeblog.com/category/tutorials/

Sams c++ primer plus is a decent book and covers the basics well. I would encourage you to do obj-c with cocoa if you plan to do iPhone development though. However, if you really want to learn c++ that's awesome.
