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!

Also you haven’t included inner class concept in your tutorial yet..I was wondering if you could make one chapter for this.

Also you can consider similarities of structure, union, class in a chapter.

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 ]

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.

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
