Hey! I just got interest in programing and I will like to learn either java or c++. I need a beginner's help and material guide or good books needed to start with.

 

Try http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

 

are you a total beginner, or do you have some experience? Do you have c++ compiler on your computer?

 

Don't start with C++. It is an extremely bad language as a first programming language.
Here is why: http://yosefk.com/c++fqa/

Good languages to start with are Python or Scala - they are much more programmer friendly and more powerful languages. And you can play in the interactive shell with them to immediately see how things work.

For example a hello world program in Python:

print("Hello")

A hello world program in Scala:

println("Hello")

A hello world program in C++:

#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) {
  cout << "hello\n";
}

It is enough to write the first two snippets of code right into the shell (REPL).
For the C++ code to work you have to write it down in a file, compile, link and then you can run it (see how much time wasted?). C++ programs are usually 3-10x longer than Python ones and 3 to 20x longer than Scala ones.

 

are you a total beginner, or do you have some experience? Do you have c++ compiler on your computer?

I'm a total beginner and don't have a compiler yet. thanks

Download one of the free visual express programs from microsoft like C# or C++.
It took me a while to get into C# with a windows interface but got there eventually and wrote a pcb design program with it.
