Help on a specific way to learn C++

[Janooba]

For the past few years I've been trying to learn the ways of programming/coding in a number of ways, but all seemed to fail. Things got overwhelming fast. But recently I decided to try and take a jab at PHP and HTML. (I know it's quite different)
I found that learning this wasn't that hard due to resources like this.. [url]http://www.tizag.com/[/url]

This site displayed all the functions (?) I could use, what they do, and how to use them. So from this I could just look things up and start putting them together to make my first websites.

I know coding in C++ is quite different, but are there any resources like this I can use to hopefully get me started? I don't like being told exactly what do do, but rather what I need to have done, and possible ways of doing it. This way I can figure it out for myself what things do.

I don't know, this section seems to be spammed with "Help me code!!1!" threads and I hate to intrude, but I'm desperate.
Any help would be appreciated

Maybe a reference like C++ In a Nutshell? [url]http://www.amazon.com/C-Nutshell-Ray-Lischner/dp/059600298X[/url]

What I've done is simply read through the books, moderately understanding everything, and then try and do something later on while using the book as a reference, I don't follow along with books and code with them.

[url]http://xoax.net/comp/cpp/console/Lesson1.php[/url] basically explains what each thing does in C++ and then sometimes gives you a little program, like a Tic Tac Toe game. Not sure if it meets your needs but you can try.

read those two and/or go to your local library and borrow a beginners guide.
And remember nothing comes for free, especially not C++.

cplusplus.com is a terrible website to learn c++

Also It's more like getting the "feeling" of programming. Not the knowledge and the mass amount of information that goes with it. Use google all the time for small questions and to look for simple examples on stuff you wonder about.
