Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right category to post this but I'm interested in learning some C++

where could I get any pdfs or video tutorials?

I'm joing a programming school soon and I want to get ready for it.

Find out what resources the school has. Get your (school)books early, and start going through them now.

Its a school that only lasts a year and they teach basic begginer stuff at the first half of the year but if you want to proceed to the next half of the year you need to get atleast 75% of the total points.
I'm not sure about the books because the school gives individual tasks writen by the school itself so I just want to grasps the basics in like two weeks. because the school start at the end of this month.

@Tomkis - forget about youtube / video tutorials...

Start mastering plain C (not C Plus Plus). Go to your local library, get a book like "C for dummies". Install C development envoronment (if you are running Windows get Microsoft' Visual C Express; on Linux, get CodeBlocks). Once you feel comfortable with C, start dipping into C++ waters.

Tomkis - go to Barnes and Nobble (or Amazon, or your favorite bookshop). "C for dummies" is less than $20. I am sure you can download a PDF from somewhere.

Don't sit and wait for someone to come to you and say, "Read this". Be proactive.

Individuals that learn C++ from the start tend to be incredibly ineffective programmers. C++ is a massively complex language, so most courses distill it down to the point where the students are just copying and pasting snippets without really learning anything profound. C is a much better teaching tool because it was designed as a portable assembler and as such forces students to really understand what is occurring before moving on.
