• Understanding C++: An Accelerated Introduction
  The goal of these tutorials is to help you to gain an understanding of the fundamental concepts driving C++ in a quick and painless way. They let you begin thinking in an "object oriented way." Once you understand the fundamentals, the rest of the language is relatively straightforward because you will have a framework on which to attach other details as you need them.
