It's driving me nuts!
How do programmers keep from going insane from this shit?
I've never worked with anything so fickle in my life....
But, I made a commitment, and I'm going to stick to it...to the bitter end. lol

They don't.
Have you ever met a sane programmer, I mean, I only got through the Cplusplus.com tutorial, and look at me
DONT LOOK AT ME!:mad: :mad:
look at me
DONT LOOK AT ME!:mad: :mad:
and so-on
BTW, someone should move this to programming

You should really get a book if you want to learn C++. Online tutorials don't really cut it, because they never seem to explain enough, and you'll lose it quickly.
Good titles are:
Sam's teach yourself C++ in 21 days
C++ for dummies (really)
"I lost my virginity, can I have yours?"
-Have I not made it clear that this planet, and everything on it does not interest me in the least?
I got the C++ For Dummies book last night. It's still frustrating, though...
[OFFTOPIC]Oh, yeah, I got one of those Sam's Books, too. It's on HTML 4.[/OFFTOPIC]

You have to be more stubborn than the compiler.
But anyway, if you have any questions, feel free to drop by the Programming forum. There are a number of people there (including me) who have programmed in C++ for quite a long time, and will be happy to help in any way we can.
Good luck!

It's not too hard, but it depends what your trying to code for.
Since your just starting, you don't wanna try to do games or anything. You should start doing simple command line (MS-DOS, or Linux command line) programs that do I/O functions and store and manipulate data.
Ohhh, C++. I'm in Computer Science AP at my school, which focuses completely on C++, and during all of first semester, I was consistently blank and confused. Now, more than half way through the year, I'm FINALLY starting to understand C++.
I think that I was at a disadvantage, though. Most everyone else had to taken the unofficial pre-requisite course (it's unofficial because it isn't officially required, but...). At the beginning of the year, I remember thinking "What the hell does 'void' mean when it's infront of a function?!" :)
BOHEMIAN POWER!!!
C++ for dummies sucks. I recommend Sam's Teach yourself C++ in 21 days, it was way better. I still can't do too much in C++, but it's because I couldn't get any ideas for projects and I didn't have the time to search through libraries for all the functions I needed.
And programmers do not keep from going insane. It would seem that being insane is almost a prerequisite for being a programmer.
Yup, insanity is one of the prerequisites. Also included are: an addition to caffeine, nocturnal sleeping habits, and enjoyment of math (this last one is serious; programmng is much harder if you're not good at math).Originally posted by AtmaWeapon

I got C++ for Dummies a couple of years ago, and it didn't take me long to realize I didn't have what it took to be a dummy.
