Where/how do i start learning C++?

Some people may tell you to learn by "just start coding!" This is completely asinine. You need to really know HOW the code works, and you can only learn that by READING a book or detailed tutorials WHILE you're coding.

Download Code::Blocks IDE. Choose to install compilers (I recommend gcc/g++).

Get a book on C++ if you're serious. Torrent one if you're poor.

You can get a free Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from here: http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

Or from here: http://www.codeblocks.org/

If you're cautious about clicking links, you can Google the term "free C++ IDE" and choose whichever of the results you prefer.

You can learn C++ using the information provided by this Web site: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

You can either test your code online or your need a compiler for it.

You can get a friendly book for beginners that explains every beginning step in details. Try C++ For Dummies.
