Thank you for this comment! I otherwise would have dived straight into the C++ course as I have been thinking about learning it for a while now. That said, do you or does anyone have a reccommendation on an online tutorial/course for learning C++? I already have a few years of programming experience, mostly in Java, Python and Haskell. I hope it is not the wrong place and time to ask such a question.

MIT OCW to the rescue! http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-096-introduction-to-c-january-iap-2011/index.htm http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...

  The MIT course is a bad choice for modern C++ (this course is just C with classes). Just have a look at this lecture: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-096-introduction-to-c-january-iap-2011/lecture-notes/MIT6_096IAP11_lec04.pdf http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput... The use of C-style arrays and strings is actively discouraged by most C++ gurus (Stroustrup, Sutter, Meyers).

    Crap, I did not actually check the content to verify its quality. Thank you very much for pointing that out! You've reminded me to be more careful about offering advice, lest I do more harm than good. Again we are reminded to be wary of the advice/help given by others, even if under the best intentions.

I don't think you could find a good (modern and complete) online resource for learning C++. You will find bits of knowledge here and there. Your best bet is to read C++ Primer 5th edition by Lippman or wait another month or two for the book of B. Stroustrup to be published.
