looking for code examples

[Brian]

As I'm new to C++ I would like to study some C++ code examples. Is there a
site on the internet that has code examples and maybe complete program
code? Studying code written for games might be a good way to learn this
language.

I came across a book I must have brought some years ago as Its dated 1998,
its called Introduction to Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. Would the code in the
book still be suitable for use in Visual Studio C++ 2010 express?

There are so many sites on the internet that giving you one would be
unfair to all others, unless it's a special one, right? Start with
'www.google.com' and search for "C++ code samples".

It's very dated. It might still compile by default, Microsoft tries to
keep its products backward-compatible, but don't count on it too much.

Also, wherever you access this newsgroup from, try finding
'alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++' there (if I spelled it right...), it's more
suited for novices.

There's marshalling/networking related code here

Here is a collection of solutions to many of the exercises proposed by
Stroustrup in his book "The C++ Programming Language" (3rd edition),
which is a very good book if you want learn C++ from the beginning:

a game (othello) is in the collection as well:

But games are usually advanced topics. You may want to start with
something easier if you are new to C++.
