Well I was looking in the tutorials section, but I couldn't figure out which tutorial to do. I know pretty much nothing about C++, but I want to learn, so which tutorial(s) should I start with?

Why don't you just buy a beginners book, they go into much more detail on the topics which you should know.
just my 2 cents

Well I might, but I want to see if I can get training without paying.

You could always try here. Very structured. Goes over the basics. And it's free!

I used the cplusplus.com tutorial when i was starting out, and it was great, i learned a lot. Definiately go into multiple sources, though, as only learning one approach to programming leads to stylistic error, and the occasional poorly covered area leads to confusion on your part and you looking like a newbie.

thats my opinion.

I STRONGLY STRONGLY STRONGLY suggest buying "C++ Without Fear".
It's a great book. Its is worth its price times 100! Excellent explanations of
concepts, syntax, and everything c++.

If books aren't for you (buy it anyway!!!) then check out cprogramming.com.
Btw, check out isohunt.com and search for "programming books" you should find
something like C++ Programming Books 2007. Download it smile.gif

But really, the book "C++ Without Fear" is a great book. And like polymath said, learn from multiple sources. Just one will cause problems smile.gif

Live long and code strong.
