Re: C++ tutorials and forums
If you're using Microsoft VC++ (Visual C++), I would recommend taking a look at their MSDN online documentation. It's not that well organized or easy to understand, but it's probably the most reliable source for information on anything related to code built in visual studio.
Otherwise, cplusplus.com - The C++ Resources Network is a great resource for tutorials and "standard" c++ library documentation. They also have a fairly helpful forum, though I usually use Stack Overflow (The whole Stack Exchange network of site is a great place to get almost anything answered, including anything to deal with computers, math, english, cooking, gaming, etc.).
Re: C++ tutorials and forums
Hey helloworld, thanks a ton for those links.
It says the software we will be using is 'DevC++ with OpenGL pre installed'. So I assume as It's just a normal IDE, It won't be VC++.
Will give them a shot and hopefully alleviate a % of the learning process from when the module starts.
