My book is for only the very basic C++, and it's not complete yet, I'll add an FAQ to it as well

Well, as somebody who knows nothing whatsoever about coding I'm not entirely sure whether I'd be the right sort of test subject for your "book", but I'm afraid that at this stage I find it confusing. To me it feels a bit like reading a dictionary of a language whose grammar I don't know. Now, as I've said, I may not be the sort of reader you had in mind, but I'd like something like a general "grammar" of C++, that explains to me how it works before I get the explanations of what the individual commands do. Or does a programming language really just consist of a bunch of commands that you have to learn by heart?

Would you like to become a good programmer?
Then join the Abandonia Programming Team.

no matter what language you program in come and join, this is a place for help with all your programming problems, we will also help people new to programming learn.

So come and join and be part of The Abandonia Programming Team k:

:roflol: Uncle Sam needs you!

Uncle James, you mean.

I agree with Raffles; what you've written tells how to write a simple program...and not much else. An effective tutorial should tell a lot more about why things work and give at least a basic explanation of the mechanisms beneath them - e. g., what are classes, objects, functions, variables, etc. What you've got could function as a sort of introduction to a more comprehensive tutorial, but on its own I don't think it accomplishes much.

No comments on my book ?

It's not really a book. It's 3 pages. Better take a look at Bruce Eckels books to see a real intro to C++. Complete and in-depth. I wouldn't want to try and top that effort.

If you're serious about the C++ book though, take a look at a technical writing tutorial or take a class in it. Then, become a REAL C++ übermeister or whatever. Then start with a few tutorials on a community site and get some feedback on your attempts. After that, write a book. Don't write it while your obviously still grappling with the beginnings of a language.

I know C++ up to OOP, although I don't understand it all I try my best LOL, I'll update the book with some more detail and a FAQ as soon as i get a bit of time, I've been having some fun playing with Java :P

[STFM]

C++ up to OOP is plain old C

[chickenman]

Well I can do a bit of OOP LOL

Can you create new classes derived from existing classes?
