Hey guys,
Anyone know of a really good C++ forum for beginners?

C++ forum
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/C++ forum ive just started too, well revisiting after 15 years away from using C..
I found cplusplus.com which i have found helpful so far (has some nice foundation get-u-started tuts).

There's an old saying "If you dont use it you lose it" and that saying is true. Just started re-reading "Beginning C++" ( about a 1000 pages ) and then I will re-read "C++ The Complete Reference" (another 1000 pages). You could check out www.codeguru.com/forum/ or http://www.codeproject.com/
In the case of learning C++ from C, I think "If you dont use it you lose it" is good advice ;)
Does C++ and Beginner belong in the same sentence? :-D
As long as it's a C++ beginner with 10 years prior programming experiance :)
Well, at least a programming background... And too be honest, when it comes to the basic core of the language, it behaves exactly the same as any other (as in For loops, if statements etc etc), which means you can rattle through them bits in beginners guides.
I agree. The only thing im having trouble understanding so far, is for example the polymorphism, overloading & inheritence bits, which is as i understand are some of the major powercenters of c++.
(But im reading through it :)
However, the standard C language is still there underneath it all, so that part is pretty much the same as before (or at least similar). I can start with that, using simple syntax with simple types, classes and structs and go from there.
Personally, im finding it fairly intuitive so far because of my experience in other languages.
In the past ive heavily used mainly Pascal for hobby/games, a fair bit of C & ADA at college and of course more recently BMax (which has taught me to think more OO), so im picking it up quicker than i would if i had only ever used for example basic or b3d.

well yeah, everyone was a beginner once :) If you mean beginner to programming in general then mabe not, no idea how a total programming noob would find it. Personally, im finding it fairly intuitive so far because of my experience in other languages.

Not a forum so slightly off-topic but worth mentioning is:
http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/index.php
which I found to be a very useful intro to programming games in c++ with SDL.
