Is there a C++ tutorial on DVD? Also I seen two other DVD's, one was "Programming in C" is this the same as C++ or would it be worth learning this and would it help me to learn C++??

I don't know of any DVD tutorial's dealing C++. However, I can tell you that C != C++ (they are not equal).

C libraries and programs can be compiled with most C++ compilers (g++ for example). However, the opposite is not true.

I find it best to think of C++ as an entirely different language that shares the same functional syntax as C but caters toward Object Oriented Programming.

I would ammend the last bit to "caters toward different styles of programming, including procedural, object-oriented, and generic."

Agreed, I get frustrated when people act like they're the same language. You need practice in both to truely call yourself a C/C++ programmer.

Also, where did you see these DVD's InvisibleSniper? I'm interested

Turns out it was only a VHS but it is called "Programming In C"
The link is below:

::EDIT::

There is also one more I found, it's title is " The World of Objects with Philippe Kahn (OOP: Object Oriented Programming)"

Would this be of any use to a begginer C++ programmer like me?

Also what's it like doing a C++ course, do any of you know of any good online courses?

get a book. "Practical C++ Programming" published by O'reilly is really good. I've been taking an online C Programming course through O'reilly's Learning Lab. It's really good as well, very helpful. I taught myself a little C++ before I took the course so it was easier I think than most people would have it, but still very good

What course are you learning because I can't see it on there?

Have a look here. They're expensive though!

I can't see C++ there. I know that C++ is just C with object orientated programming, so would it be best to lern C first, that way I would learn all the functions and pointers ect?

Not necessarily. C++ is more than just C with classes, but many people choose the route you've suggested. Since I learned C++ before C I would recommend the opposite way. I find it easy to go back and learn the little bits of C knowledge I'm lacking. It all depends on the person, you can really learn any programming language and jump to another. Since I know C++ pretty deeply I can assure you that its quite different from C even if they look the same. I can definately tell the difference in code between a C++ programmer, and a C programmer who knows C++. I'm sure many C programmers can do the same.

having started w/ C++ first, and then C, I think you should do the opposite(C, then C++). Why? C is much more technical feeling. It's more obscure, granted, at the beginning it's mostly the same structure and so forth(I assume until you get to object-orientation), but C++ is closer to the english language. Just a thought. I like C++ better, but it's easy to see where C++ came from(C). Anyone know of any sites that teach B(the language that C was based on)? Just out of curiosity.

I found a page on B: http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/bintro.html

I also found another C and a C++ video tutorial, it looks really good. Comes with 8 VHS's and program code on a disk. Just search for C++ Video Course on this website, it looks really worth it. Also can you tell me what you think of it please.
