C++ programing class and questions

Im in a c++ class and it was all fine and good untill we got a new teacher. The teacher we got is not qualified for the job so she has some guy come in to teach us the programing aspect of it. My question is "is c++ hard to learn on your own?" I want to learn it but im not sure if i can keep with it being the teacher/teachers that i have.

I learned C on my own, and was able to quickly learn C++. It's not to hard, at least the fundamentals. Just make sure to keep at it. And if ya got questions, you got a good resource here, so use and abuse it. =p

With the right resources, its not hard at all, but it is always extremely helpful to have a human there that knows the language to give you a hand when you need it.

I dont learn well from books, so what I wound up doing was finding other people's code, and looking at it, and disassembling it line by line. That taught me a lot.

Of course, before you can do that, make sure you know about syntax, operators, and basic variables...

Not when you have Tilted Programming at your disposal!

Seriously, C++ doesn't have to be too hard to learn, and I'm sure there's numerous TFPer's who would be more than happy to lend a helping hand along the way.

Learning the syntax to C++ is not hard but learning how to effectively program in it is. That is to say, while you can easily learn how to program in it on your own, many of it's ideas and paradigms are subtle and it's best to have a person who is a good C++ programmer to teach you these things, 'cause C++ programming has grown far beyond what even Stroustrup intended...

As a side point, if your new instructor is not qualified to actually teach the course material, what other reponsibilities can she have?

I knew visual basic fairly well before coming to college and needed to learn java in college. I found that after you program in one language it becomes easier to learn new ones since the basics remain the same. Learning syntax is the challenge.
