The sequel to my award winning C++ tutorial, this tutorial is clearer and a lot more indepth. It contains numourous code examples and links to further resources. Not to mention that it is continuously growing, what more could you want?
The tutorial currently covers the following topics indepth:
* The history of C++
* Functions - from the basics upwards
* Loops - Basic to advanced use
* Using command line arguments in your programs
* File manipulation
* Explanation of Object Orientated Programming
* Basic String manipulation
* Advanced String manipulation
As I mentioned above, this tutorial is continuously growing and will be updated on a bi-monthly schedule, so please vote for me to help encourage my efforts :)

ok seth it is true about the include syntax, but most compilers(the one he is using) supports include plus iostream.h is very different from iostream, also kbhit(), whats wrong with that function, someone has to use it, its a standard function for console applications w-t-f (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
hmm, main reason that I havn't used in both my tutorials is simple, i'm trying to teach people the basics without throwing them more information then they need. If it really upsets people that much then i'll change it. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
kbhit() is NOT STANDARD, it is typically found to be prototyped in 'conio.h' if the compiler has it... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
About "teach people the basics without throwing them more information than they need," teaching them incorrect information might be more a hindrance than "throwing too much at them." You could simply do something like this: #include using namespace std; // open up global namespace, this will be covered in another installment to the tutorial series ? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Sorry for the lack of formatting in the posts, PSC seems to be getting picky about whitespace and such in the postings. There should be a few newlines in there, such as after the #include before the 'using namespace std;' (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Seth, Due to public opinion all of the tutorials will be updated before the next update :) Thanks for the input. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
using namespace std; is not needed for iostream , and g++ compilers don't even need it included before you can use cout, and Seth, i guess he can't tell us about MessageBox , or Wins Api since there not standard functions (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I just read your source code, and I like them all!If you has been kind enough to share more with me, please sent email to me. Thanks (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
OpcodeVoid this isn't a flame war, don't make it into one. You're correct, there is a big difference between and --- the C++ standard recognizes the latter form, not the prior. Another point to be made, his tutorial focuses on C++, never did he mention about discussing the Windows API or any other. Regarding g++, it is perhaps THE most standards-compliant compiler in existence for both C(gcc) and C++(g++). (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
When I saw the title of this article, I said, "ugh, another c++ tutorial." But this one is put together pretty well. I was surprised to see , but that should not take away from the quality and time put into this article. I got 5 on it. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
OpcodeVoid how can you correct someone if they are not incorrect? =) Michael Skelton, I do commend your efforts. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Michael if you'd like more tips or someone to proof-read future tutorials, I'd be happy to help! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
hey i wanna say that what great tutorials i like it but we need to move on asssembly coz the world will control the av so join our virus world thank u....linubel (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
