Get a good beginners book. As you seem to be an absolute beginner I suggest
you get Francis Galssborow's new book. Unfortunately I could not find the
link but if you post to comp.lang.c++.moderated Francis will let you know.


HTML is not a programming language. JavaScipt is (a small) one.

I would recomment also Accelerated C++, but since you have no previous
programming experiences it is not suitable for you. :-(

i would suggest playing with pascal a couple of days
understand the basics (loops, functions, if's, etc.),
and then get a beginners c++ book

I woul definitely not suggest that. Get the Francis Glassborow book. It is
for absolute beginners who has never programmed in anything.

BTW why do I say no Pascal? I did learn in a school where Pascal was used
to teach. Approx. 3% of the people were able to learn C afterwards. The
others has been preoccupied with: why isn't it like in Pascal, were never
able to understand how pointers work in C and so on.

So if he wants to learn C++ and there is a book teaching programming by
teaching C++ I would not suggest learning Pascal first. Had this question
been asked a year ago I would have agreed with you.

While we are in basic questions, why schould i learn C++ ? what sort of
programs are you writing ? Every time i open a programation langage book, i
see that i have a lot of tools, possibilities, but i don't see the final
goal of it, and
programing A I is out of range for most of us !

That wasn't the topic. The topic was that the OP wanted to learn it. I
cannot answer for you if you should or not.


The OP or me? I write mostly servers for telecom.


I, I... what sort of tools??? Do you mean features?


The final goal is one you should have. A textbook will not give you the
purpose of life, unless it is written by Adams.

But if you want to know what is the purpose of C++ get and read this book:

I have no idea what do you mean by programming A I.

Sorry, i'm not english ; I thought it's not the language that is
programming, it's the OP who is programming something....


Artificial Intelligence !!!!

thanks,

I see. This has - unfortunately - nothing to do with the C++ language. AI
programming is a special area. IMO C++ is better suited for such tasks then
for example C or Pascal is, but I doubt that there is any language today
what is widely known and is aimed at that area.

is

"Approx. 3% of the people were able to learn C afterwards"
so, maybe the rest are not supposed to be programmers if they
can't understand why it isn't like pascal

for me, learning pascal first was veeeeeery helpful
