Learn C++

It’s ok.

Well I’m relieved it’s back up. I had to break from going through the tutorials for a bit, and when I tried to come back I had no idea what I was going to do. This website fits my learning style perfectly so it was difficult to motivate myself to go elsewhere, fortunately I didn’t need to.

I have found your explanations are much easier to understand the the tutorials I’m currently using.
Specialy as im totaly new to programming. Thanx for all that you have done.
Ill be sure to visit alot more often in my progress to learning C++.

ALex, thanks for this great tutorial.
You ROCKS!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I have been reading through your tutorials for quite a long time and there hasn’t been a new tutorial update since 2008. I am just wondering, are you done writing the tut, or is the website kind of dead?

btw excellent tutorials, very easy to understand.

Alex,
the site went up, which is great, so I could find it.
might not be the perfect place to do so, but I just wanted to send you a huge
THANKS

beein in IT then telecom for 12 years, always gave up on learning a programming language, although I can debug code, I never found a tutorial that can guide me and on a fast-trak through the way I can build an app in C++, how to use main is ok, where to put a function, an object, how to call them, without going through 100’s of pages and having to patch the pieces together.
still at the tutorial beginning, but that is exactly the missing GAP.

might even be ok soon to get code examples I found in every place, which never show the complete structure.

again THANKS

Alex,
Superb Tutorial. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot

You’re tutorials have been very helpful in the learning of C++. I, personally, have coupled your great tutorial with a few books I bought, namely “C++ An Introduction to Computing by Joel Adams, Sanford Leestma and Larry Nyhoff” and “C++ Primer Plus (5th Edition) by Stephen Prata” and found that those yield the greatest result. Having your tutorial to simply define code and principles, the books provide a great insight into the moral and social duties held by programmers. They also provide a physical means by which to study and give exact definitions to certain operators and statements listed in your tutorial. I have made leaps and bounds in the week that I’ve been using only your tutorial, and the books only solidify those aspects by allowing me to research what I’ve learned in the tutorial with more advanced interpretations and definitions. But by far, the leading factor in my studies have been your tutorial and without them, the books would serve more of a memorization tool than an actual knowledge of the language.

Could I ask a question here? It is not related to any topics which you have discussed. It is connected to COM. I am not asking any specific questions about COM. I am only asking a question about object life time. TOO Much introduction…

While studing about COM, I found this code

BOOL CSpaceshipFactory::XClassFactory::CreateInstance(int nIid, void** ppvObj)

{
TRACE(“\nEntering CSpaceshipFactory::XClassFactory::CreateInstance()\n”);

METHOD_PROLOGUE(CSpaceshipFactory, ClassFactory) // makes pThis

CSpaceship* pObj = new CSpaceship();

if (pObj->ExternalQueryInterface(nIid, ppvObj))

{

pObj->ExternalRelease(); // balance reference count

return TRUE;
}

return FALSE;

}

My only doubt is : what is the life time of pObj (CSpaceship* pObj = new CSpaceship();). It is created in Member function.
They are using this object every where.

Alex, I would very much appreciate if you could give me any help to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.

[ I have asked so many questions about C++ in this site while i am studying here ]

Alex,

This is an excellent tutorial for basic C++ topics.

As an enhancement, I think you might add more topics to Standard Template Library, such as container, iterator, algorithms, etc. I cannot imagine a real C++ project is written without any STL library and smart pointers, etc.

Good job!

Good to see you’re up and running again! *Dives back in the tutorials*

I think Alex must have quit

pity because I only just found this great site

just my luck

:(

I just love this tutorial..Very well written. Thank u, so much!!
