Re: Need to learn how to code ASAP!It's been a while since I looked at learning C++ but at that point there were some good learn C++ in 21/30 days books. These will only teach you the basics but it should be enough to get you started.
I suspect there are some good online tutorials for C++ as well now - I've not needed to look at beginner level tutorials for a while.
Your initial programs will probably be pretty basic (Displaying "Hello World" in a command line) but after you get to grips with how the language works more advanced tutorials should make sense so don't give up. -

Re: Need to learn how to code ASAP!Bad news: It's basically impossible to get to a point where you can write decent code quickly.
Good news: The point where you can write terrible code is super near!
Some good, realistic first week targets for you:
Day 1: Display "Hello World" on the screen.
Day 3: Display the five times table up to 2500 on the screen.
Day 5: Display the fibonacci sequence on the screen.
Day 7: Ask a user their birthday and tell them their star sign! (this will take most of the day but be super satisfying). -

Re: Need to learn how to code ASAP!Day 8: visit www.libsdl.org and use it combined with C++ to write Pac Man.
Ok maybe nowhere near day 8 but its an awesome project to aim for.Last edited by INTit; 04-07-2012 at 21:12. -

Re: Need to learn how to code ASAP!No C++ but this website is super user friendly for learning how to code. It covers Javascript and web fundamentals, JQuery. In the labs section of the site they are working on courses for Ruby and Python.
Anyway, they make it easy and fun, so if anyone wants to give it a go!

Re: Need to learn how to code ASAP!I like how the OP asked for C++ and four of the seven replies are about php/css/html/JavaScript (half of which technically aren't programming).
Hopefully (as it's now three months on) the OP has made some decent progress with C++ -

Re: Need to learn how to code ASAP!Here is what u should do:
If you wanna learn the easyest and most interesing way is trough online interactive websites.
For example, Codeacademy(javascript), Hurricane electric interactive...(php,html,css,sql, java,...),etc
These websites provide a terminal of sorts in which they give u exercises that get harder as u learn
