Hi i've recently started reading through some online sites about learning C++ and need some good websites/books/subscriptions that can help me to learn programming. I know it will take time and effort but i would like to have basics covered/decent knowledge by the end of about 2-3 months (during this period i am free most of the day to work on skills). So does anyone have any tips or recommendations on how to go about learning?

It's somewhat hidden, but here (and the two posts below the linked one) are tips we gave to another UCF member when he asked where to start with C/C++. They should be general enough to work for you as well, but please keep in mind that especially my own tips are based on how I did it, so they might not be optimal.

To learn C++, You'd better learn plain C first.

C is a sub set of C++, and C++ is just the "C with class".

I've got two sites about C learning.

Here it is: http://publications....t.co.uk/c_book/

(This is an on-line C programming tutorial book)

And when you programming with C. You need to retrieve libraries and functions from here:

http://www.cplusplus.com

As for you wanna programming on the embedded systems (like calculators) you need specific reference or manuals of that micro-controller

and IDE, C-compilers.

As for C++, there is a less people who use C++ for embedded system developing.

Cuz It's hard to operate with low-level hardware facilities with a Object-Oriented language.

Also there's a lot of paper-book you can buy to learning C/C++. here is one example:

"The C Programming Language" written by Dennis Ridge-the father of C.

GOOD LUCK.
