What are some good online guides and whatnot for learning C++?
if you already know how to program, i'd recommend finding a good reference manual and some good c++ code that somebody else wrote... and then start hacking on it (adding new features fixing bugs, etc.)
There's a book available online somewhere, that I am too lazy to find, which is called something along the lines of "C++ for C programmers". If you already know C, read this. Or at least the parts that interest you. There's more to C++ than anybody could be bothered learning. You're happier taking a narrower view of the language and ignoring the esoterics.
