Tips for c++ [needed]

[libalchris]

I have a interest in C++, however i know nothing about it, and i can't take my college courses yet. Could anyone point me in the directions of development tools for it, and some simple guides/tutorials for learning the beginning stages of this language?

If you want to be a REAL programmer, you need linux.

If you're using windows though I'm not sure what I'd recommend. I learned on linux and I just used the gcc compiler, and edited the files in the KATE file editor.

This is the tutorial I used: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

I cannot remember if that tutorial is completely compatible with linux or not. Windows has some libraries that linux doesn't, so if this tutorial uses them then it will only work with a windows compiler

Don't ask me for help though, I really don't know much and what I did know I've probably forgotten lol
