Hey guys I am bit bore now.. Can't game therefore I thought of learning C++ .. I had learnt C++ in 11'th and now I am on the verge of completing 12'th .. But due to shifting of my school I was unable to get Computer Science in 12 :( . .Leave that.. Suggest me good C++ compiler for KDE>. can Kdevelop be used ? If yes how to compile C++ programs.. I am totally noob in C++ in Linux.. I had only used Borland Compiler.. So I am pretty unknown of new terms .. If possible suggest me some good C++ learning sites :)

Regards

If you want an IDE, then yes KDevelop is really nice. It also has got some nice templates for GUI programming with C++ using Qt.

Learn the make system. It's a much better way of managing projects. Create a new project. Then build it and compile it. This link is quite nice one to learn about make - *www.eng.hawaii.edu/Tutor/Make/
