When I tried to do what it said my compiler didn't want to compile.

From error message and reading the code the only problem would be that you are putting .h after your includes and most modern compilers dont like that. You can go into your options and set the compiler up to be able to run that way if you want but i dont see any point, I know for a fact that bloodshed and Visual Studio are set up out of the box to have includes like #include <iostream> or <stdlib> etc... The .h are usually only called when you write your own classes as far as my expierience with them goes.

Hope you got it to work, i dont think 21 days is possible. I know people who after three years of this are still having trouble with objects and inheritance and the like. But it did have a lot of stuff compressed down into a small area and a quick overview. If you know some other languages I think this file would be all a person might need to pickup on the major points.

Just to point out that nobody can learn C++ in 21 day. It takes some time and devotion.

If you get kudo's for every (illegal) book you post I can get rich This is a complete book, not just a tut and yeah, outdated as hell, if you wanna learn C++ either get a newer version of this book (on more bookwarez sites then i can name) or buy it

That will be really helpfull for me - I need to learn c++ for uni and im strugling a bit at the moment.

c++ need to my friend .. thank you )

I'm glad this article helped some people. I know it helped me.

I havent yet checked out the site...

But from what little C++ i know (which took me MONTHS to teach myself) do you guys think it would be possible to learn and understand the implementation of a programming language in a simply 3 weeks? I don't think so...but you can mark me in the "sceptic" corner

It looks nice.

I was using C in 21 days and also VB.NET in 21 days.They are quite good for someone who's just starting with programming languages.

I will add this one to my collection.

Thanks!

Learning C++ will take years of studying. This tutorial will not make you a pro C++ programmer. This tutorial will help people understand the basics. It doesn't mean you will learn C++ in 21 days. This tutorial is just divided into 21 lessons.

Completely agree on this, it is just looking into basics, but good tutorial anyway

nice guide thanks... got myself some reading to do now

HI ppl,

Here another tutorial which is worth recommending http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
extremely awesome!

That seems to be Sams Teach your self C in 21 days >_>
Well at least it looks a lot like it.

How proficient can you be in a language you learn in a mere 21 days however? Is this going purely by functions or syntax? To do anything useful in C++ you need to know APIs.
