I needa learn C++ for my degree (yes i know its a long way off but i want the knowledge for when i start)
what i wanna know is, are there any good sites giving totally newb tutorials and maybe source code?!

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ is good

thanks. btw im using Microsoft Visual C++ but i dont how to "run" the code. When usings Visual Basic you could just press run and voila, but how do you do it in Visual C++?

Click Build in the Build menu. Then click Execute "fileName" from the build menu.

Also you want to check out this book I am useing. Teach yourself Visual C++ 6 in 21 days. It's quite a nice book.

Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 in 21 days

its not working. i get an error:

"Cannot execute program"

and i copied the code from the tutorial site:

// my first program in C++

#include <iostream.h>

int main ()
{
  cout << "Hello World!";
  return 0;
}

Your link gave me a 404

Try opening the project folder and running the projectname.exe file manually.

Try this

code:

---

#include "stdafx.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    printf("Hello World!\n");
    return 0;
}

---

um the odd thing is, there is no .exe file in the project folder
i click Build exe and i get the Windows Astrisk beep lol
if i click Execute Test1.exe is asks me if i want to create, i press yes then it gives me the error i mentioned above

[Edit] nope that code doesnt work either DJeX

Thats because your code has errors, it will not make the exe with errors. Try my code.

but i copied the code exactly from the tutorial!
