If you have no history in programming, then I think it is a little early for you to be thinking of certification in C++.

Perhaps the best place to start would be looking at finding a book, or tutorial, or even a local course to give you some idea before you go any further?

Solution 2

Here is a free electronic book:
Thinking in C++[^] 2nd Edition by Bruce Eckel

I'll also recommend C++ Primer, 4th Edition[^] as an easy to read, well written, introduction to the C++ language.

Solution 5

You can start with something like
Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 24 Hours: Complete Starter Kit

After you learn the absolute basics of the language, then read other books to learn about style, design, etc.

I think these kind of manuals only gives a a parody of what programming is, and must not be recommended as "starters". They only give false expectations.

Give a look to
http://norvig.com/21-days.html

One spot from that site:
"The conclusion is that either people are in a big rush to learn about computers, or that computers are somehow fabulously easier to learn than anything else. There are no books on how to learn Beethoven, or Quantum Physics, or even Dog Grooming in a few days. Felleisen et al. give a nod to this trend in their book How to Design Programs, when they say "Bad programming is easy. Idiots can learn it in 21 days, even if they are dummies. "

Yes, bad programming is easy and most programmers I've met are not very good.
