Sites/tips to learling c++ and major scripting languages?

Codeacademy
Coursera

www.cprogramming.com is a good place to get a lot of info.

If you know Polish - Grębosz is your answer :p.

This is for C++:

Official Language Tutorial

Official Reference

Tutorials on OpenGL 4 and Direct3D 11

Whenever you search for something or need help

If you intend to develop on Windows, you can get Visual Studio C++ Express for free which is like the best IDE on Windows and C++ out there.
If you use Linux, I suggest you to use the IDE Eclipse with the C/C++ language plugin.

For the script language I suggest python or Lua. Lua has a really nice C API and there are some C++ wrappers for the API plus it is commonly used in game developement.

As literature I suggest this book by the creator of Lua: Programming in Lua

If you use Windows, you can download Lua for Windows which installs the binaries and header files. If you use Visual Studio you can get code highlighting in Lua files by installing this Lua language service.

Good luck and have fun with the resources!

There's this site called Udemy that has tons of courses, both free and paid, for a whole array of skills.

Udemy Programming Language Courses
Udemy Game Development Courses

I've already set it to find low to high prices and there's quite a few free courses right now. They usually run promotions where a few select paid courses becomes free for a short while so keep your eyes out for them too.

Edit: If you are interested in some of the paid courses from Udemy but think they cost too much, check out stacksocial. They usually sell a bundle of development courses for a few dollars from time to time.

Here is one of StackSocial's current promotion titled "Game Design Bundle". You can either pay $1 for half of the courses or pay the BTA price for all the courses. They all activate on Udemy much like bundle keys with Steam. :D

One of the BTA courses is called "Make Real Games: Become A Unity 3D Power User" which I think might appeal to you.

Rules of learning how to program:

To learn how to write a code you need to write code.

To learn how write a good code you need to write a lot of code.

No code that you have ever written is useless. Even the worst one can serve as a bad example and you will learn something while writing it.

Never be afraid to write any kind program. In worst case scenario you will end up with a bad example how to code.

Internet course will, at the best, teach you basics. If you want to write your own program or game - you will need a lot of practise. It is not really hard to make a simple game. It is hard to make a good game. (do not mistake this with complex game - making complex game isn't harder than making simple game - it is only more time consuming. And the final product might be even worse) Also you might rethink about learning C++ first. If you want to be a game developer than you might do better by downloading Unity 3D and learning C#. It is very similar to C++ on the outside (very different on the inside) And you can still create windows software with it (using .net and Visual Studio)

For your first few games just try to clone other people ideas. Make "Angry Birds", "Mario" and "Tetris" or "Pong". After finishing them start working on your own ideas. Also often ask for feedback. Especially valuable is constructive criticism. If someone tells you "It is great" or "Your game sucks" - it gives you nothing. If someone says "I like the game play, but pace is too slow and boring." - you know what to improve.

So write, code, program, try, fail, succeed - just do something. Anything will do now. Watching even best youtube videos will give you less than writing 100+ lines of code to reinvent calculator.

And one last thing. Good luck.

When comes to learning to code its all about the practice. I personally started with this which is for C# since the university in which I'm studing said that C# is much easier to understand than C++ . Anyway you should code on daily basis, if needed look for problems on the internet,try to solve them and if you hit a wall, google is your best helper.

If you want to use C++ and have no engine yet, I recommended Esenthel Engine over Unity, plus it's what I'm using and as learning tool, it's full C++.

I learned C++ through self-learned, I first read C++ for basic syntax (I read C++ Primer Plus (5th Edition)), then I go edit game source code to your liking (I use Esenthel game demo).

Also use this website and forum for overall about game development tips and chat GameDev.net

I'll tell you what I tell anyone who asks which language to learn:
Language is secondary, learn paradigms. When you know paradigms, rest is easy.

I know that this my not make much sense now, but when you "learn" 5-6 languages and see how much of them are just repeating each other you'll surly understand then. Learning syntax will take you no more then a day when you understand how the system works.

And just few tip when you are coding:
Learn design patterns, it will help you build better structures, more useable and cleaner code. Also, what I've seen, some coders forger, including me, to to put comments and that is fine for small test codes, but later when you would have more code files longer procedures and etc. even you will forget what each section does.

Now on topic:
Maybe best is to use lecture scripts from high schools and universities. Also, as you said, you studied Basic and VB in school, so if you have those scripts, use them to make same programs just in language you now prefer.
If you choose to learn C++ or any other language, try avoiding adding libraries, but build them yourself at least at start just to learn.

Find a friend who can help you with C++ also cplusplus and stackoveflow are your best friends as coder.

Now I have plenty of options! Thanks Guys!

i would not use code academy, i had alot of problems with it and i would start with Python, as it's as easy and for some it's important

I just googled it, I learned on learncpp.com, i went through all course, but anything I can do with that knowledge is basics... By that I mean, if you want to learn to make programs or games, you have to learn somewhere else more, I think.. But in learncpp.com they have the basics.
