This tutorial teaches the C++ programming language but assumes that the student has already attained a reasonable proficiency in C programming. It is composed of 12 chapters which should be studied in order since topics are introduced in a logical order and build upon topics introduced in previous chapters. It is to the students benefit to download the source code for the example programs, then compile and execute each program as it is studied. The diligent student will modify the example program in some way, then recompile and execute it to see if he understands the material studied for that program. This will provide the student with valuable experience using his compiler.
The recommended method of study is to print the text for one or two chapters, download the example programs, and study the material by loading the example programs in the compiler's editor for viewing. Following successful completion of each chapter, additional chapters can be downloaded.

This tutorial is distributed as shareware which means that you do not have to pay for it until after you use it for a period of time. The author spent a good deal of time and financial resources to develop this tutorial and requests that you share in the financial burden in a very small way, but only if you felt the tutorial was valuable to you. After using it for a two week trial period, you should remit payment if you feel the tutorial is worthwhile to you, or delete all copies if you did not find it beneficial. Full instructions for remitting payment will be given by clicking the link below. I hope you find programming in C++ to be rewarding and profitable. I personally think it is an excellent extension to C programming and is well worth the effort needed to master it.
