C++ Newbie Here!!

[oobootsy1]

Hello, I just got my uncles OLD Borland C++ program out of it's box. It is version 4.5 but still works. I am using a book he has called-

Object-Oriented Programming in C++
Second Edition

Even thought it is for adults,(I am 13), I am still understanding parts of it. I made my first program already too, but it just puts some text on the screen. Anyways, I was wondering if there is any places ONLINE I can find to learn too and chat with other programmers? Thank you everyone!

If you can find a way to get your hands on the book C++ : How to Program by Deitel and Deitel (might be available at a library near you), you will find a ton of useful links in an appendix in the back of the book.

I will second the 'have fun' part!

Oh yeah, let's not forget that it's a good book to learn with anyway. :)

Indeed. That book is a must have. Very easy to understand. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it doesn't have the answers to the exercises. Not that I want to cheat, but when we're learning something by ourselves and there is not a teacher to ask questions, it is good to have a reference where you can see if you got it right or not. They have this separate book
C++ Student Solutions Manual to accompany C++ How to Program 4/E (http://vig.prenhall.com/catalog/academic/product/0,4096,0131425781,00.html) that has most of the answers to all exercises in the book (I didn't like that 'most', it should have ALL the answers, but that's how it is written on their website). I will buy that book soon because sometimes I get stuck in an exercise and I stop reading the book because I get let's say, frustrated :x
