I took a course in my school that only covered Java but the college I want to go to starts off with C++ so where's a good place to learn C++ because my school doesn't offer it?

I learned it from these two sites, they were pretty good and explained things well.

I would recommend checking out [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] not only for C++, but a wide range of other languages along with other subjects not just computer science. Have fun my man.

Coming from Java C++ should not be that difficult for you to learn. A lot of the language is the same minus some formatting.

Here is a pretty good link to get you started out.

Honestly C++ is not that difficult to learn. Basic tutorials are a great place to start. If you are willing to spend some money, you can buy a book on C++. This will cover the basics and more.

I used TheNewBoston on youtube and their site to learn C++. I also read some books.

I still haven't learned the ins and outs of C++ but it's true when people say that if you learn C++ as a first or second language you will be able to learn other languages quickly.

I recommend not learning from thenewboston as he's kinda a "jack of all trades, master of none". So, he'll teach you some pretty dodgy ways to do things. Also, a lot of his videos now are out of date with C++11 (I think).

C++ isn't necessarily 'hard', there's just a lot to doing it correctly.
I recommend learning it from a good book and then once YOU THINK you've learned it, go ahead and read Effective Modern C++ and learn why you haven't learned it at all.
