Learning c++?

I've been looking for a book that can teach me c++ (preferably towards the area of game design) but every book i've looked at required some prior knowledge. I need a book for the complete beginner guide to C++ (it would help if it included programs like a compiler or something)

Learning c++?
If you want to learn C++ on your own, then you need to get a compiler and figure out how it works.


Then start coding little things and work your way up to more complicated tasks.





C++ books are good for referencing but no so good for instruction for the most part.


You can download a free compiler/debugger from microsoft.


The first link is to download the compiler.


The second is a book that you can use.





C++ in a Nutshell is a good reference book as well.


You will need to figure out how to use the compiler before you can start doing complicated things. It's not trivial to use, so don't get discouraged. The best thing to do is find someone who knows how to use it and help get you started.
Reply:Game design, you might want to check out OPEN GL

Reply:I took the class last year in school. It won't be possible to learn C++ from a book. You need a teacher to explain to you everything that is going on. Teach you what to do. Then you program and she help you fix you mistakes, so you can learn from them.
Reply:Check college textbooks. There usually are a lot of stores that sell them for campuses. Those are generally pretty good to learn stuff like that.
