Someone to teach me basic C++ - ᴀpex - Apr 15, 2012
I'm looking for someone who can teach me basic C++ to get everything started such as where to read, what to do, the programs, etc.
Of course there will be a payment for the person spending his time on helping me, if you have time to do this PM me, it would help me a lot.

MSDN should help you, to learn the first basics in c++
for beginners the Dev C++ compiler is a good and easy one

IMO you can't learn with a teacher (school is an exception) learn by doing is the best. And for basic try these thenewboston.com or cplusplus.com or C++ For dummies.

The internet is a great resource to either find lessons already written out, or textbooks if you prefer the physical books like some (and myself) often do. I might advise to stray away from Microsoft C++ and Visual Studio, and lean more towards Unix friendly C++, mostly because Unix friendly C++ will normally compile fine on windows, while ms c++ won't always compile on a *nix/mac system. Employers will more than likely prefer you to know Unix friendly rather than MS

I recommend not to spend your money on the basics because you may need it when you get further.
search YouTube for tutorials as the mates said these will get you going at no time.
good luck :)
EDIT : Ah i forgot to say, if you need anything ask me.
i'm not an expert in the language but i'll try.

In my opinion, you can't generally learn by having someone tell you what to do when it comes to programming languages. However, I'd be more than happy to help you if you get stuck on a problem.
What I do when I learn something new is I visualize how it works through the users point of view, then try to think about what happens behind the scenes inside the computer, then try to manipulate the program to replicate that logic. Don't know if that's a good example.
Basically, think of something to make, find out how to make it, then use that knowledge to make other things.
If you need help with compilers or guides, you can check out my thread here:

As far as reading, my favorite book would be C++ Primer Plus.
And my favorite (general favorite) free C IDE would be Code::Blocks.
