Ask HN: Is there something similar to "Learn Python The Hard Way" for C++
2 comments
There's nothing for C++, but I have started a book for C:
http://c.learncodethehardway.org/
Why don't you go through what I've written so far and learn the basics of C. Doing that will give you a good understanding of the foundations of C++. While C++ is a fairly different language in a lot of ways, its backwards compatibility with C means that a lot of the same issues exist. Understanding C will then make it easier to get through C++ (or Objective-C).

Hey Zed!
I made a start on your Learn C The Hard Way but after reading several comparisons I believe C++ is better to learn without learning C first. And I believe C isn't a very strong language.
No chance of you starting a C++ one? :D

What? lol.
Correct me if I'm wrong, it's only what I read. A fool who asks questions is a fool for 5 minutes, a fool who doesn't is a fool forever!

Love it!
Accelerated C++ maybe? I haven't read LPTHW, but Accelerated C++ is a good book to learn C++ from, and is very example focused:
http://www.acceleratedcpp.com/
Of course, doesn't cover the latest rev of C++, C++11. But this should lay good foundation.

Can you help me out? :)
Cheers.
