Why don't you try books? There are a number of excellent textbooks out there that give instruction in C and C++ to anybody from the rank novice to the advanced programmer. My personal favorite is the Waite Group's _New C Primer Plus, 2nd edition_ (ISBN 0-672-30319-1). It also has a C++ version. Try to find a book that teaches you ANSI C, instead of one that focuses on a specific compiler or a specific environment. Most of the latter teach things that don't work on all compilers, or often don't work on any compiler but the one they are telling you about. A lot of books also have some rather egregious programming errors in them. Somebody on the mailing list mentioned some sort of online programming classes that are being offered by some university. Search the mailing list archives (at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/) to find the relevant messages. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
