Hey all,

Many years ago I was taught c++ in high school, the wrong way. Now after many years in college working with Java, I am really interested in relearning C++ as its benefits seem enormous for low to the ground (working directly with hardware) types of applications. However, like I said, I learned c++ the wrong way before and see this as a stumbling block to relearning it. I was wondering if anyone could point me to some really in depth good introduction articles. The things that I particularly am confused about is the use of header files (what are they and how do I use them anyway) and all the different types of c++ (mfc, std, and whatnot).

Any help and links are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- legit

Have a look at the 'correct' C++ tutorial; the link to which I found whilst browsing Marshal Kline's C++ FAQ

http://home.no.net/dubjai/win32cpptut/html/


Actually, Marshal Kline's C++ FAQ is well worth a look too (for reference) - many, many common C++ issues are discussed here
http://parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/

The beginners' tutorials at cprogramming aren't too bad either http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html
