cplusplus.com is usually a good start for reading, or go to 3dbuzz and watch the C++ VTMs which I would recommend, they are great at explaining things and its kinda funny...

I'd recommend starting with C instead of C++, but that's personal preference. The best resource for learning C is without a doubt Kernighan's "C Programming Language." If you're still intent on learning C++, then check out C++ Primer Plus. You can also learn quite a bit from CarlH's programming lessons that you wont learn from either of those books, although I'm fairly certain that he also focuses his lessons on C.

isn't c too old ? now most site usb php or asp
Disregard that.

PHP and ASP are interpreted languages meant to be run on a webserver, C and C++ are compiled languages meant to create standalone programs.
They're entirely different categories, and age of a programming language doesn't mean crap.
Programming languages don't go out of style, they don't spoil, age means crap.

tell that to PASCAL, Cobol, and the 50+ other languages that are dead and outdated and got replaced by new languages

C is dying out, C++ is still rampant and popular, C# hasnt taken over yet but will eventually

They didn't die due to age, they died due to other factors, mostly being too specifically-targeted, or lacking newer features, while stuff like BASIC (which predates both Pascal and C) is still around in various forms.

If a language no longer has any use or has been superseded by something better, it will die. It won't die of purely old age.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.
