[dummy76]

hey guys

i'm a bit of a vb guy, but not much C++ under my belt (yet)

i'm looking for a good online course to take, be it free or pay a bit. i have a ton of free time at work, but having the sam's book at my desk is a lil much. anyone know or themselves teach an online course? thanx for the replies

Here's one I'm considering now..

www.cppnow.com
They develop a game in a 4 month session.

Then there's IEEE.. FOr a membership fee they have 100+ CBT's (many in C++/MFC)
www.computer.org

I have heard only good things about this:
https://www.gameinstitute.com/gi/

But it is a bit $$$

[dummy76]

it doesn't have to be a game oriented class, or anything similar.......

i'm looking to learn C++ complete. and like i said, unfortunately, i can't have a 'how to' book flopped on my desk while at work lol

thanks for the link

Yeah, I'm thinking about CPPNOW... But now I've got to go review gameinstitute.com (thanks for the post) to see.. that might be better as it is class by class in smaller chunks. They appear to have a lot to offer... Just when my mind was almost made up..<G>
