Ask HN: Is there something similar to "Learn Python The Hard Way" for C++
I've completed LPTHW and I was hoping to move onto C++. Is there anything similar to LPTHW for C++ because I've found it the easiest to learn from. I get bored from books and learning individual features of a language but it's easier and fun to learn by projects and examples.
Can you help me out? :)
Cheers.

Of course, doesn't cover the latest rev of C++, C++11. But this should lay good foundation.

Why don't you go through what I've written so far and learn the basics of C. Doing that will give you a good understanding of the foundations of C++. While C++ is a fairly different language in a lot of ways, its backwards compatibility with C means that a lot of the same issues exist. Understanding C will then make it easier to get through C++ (or Objective-C).
I made a start on your Learn C The Hard Way but after reading several comparisons I believe C++ is better to learn without learning C first. And I believe C isn't a very strong language.
No chance of you starting a C++ one? :D

Correct me if I'm wrong, it's only what I read. A fool who asks questions is a fool for 5 minutes, a fool who doesn't is a fool forever!
