Julie Zelenski introduces C++ syntax, primitive types, and basic program structure for students transitioning from Java.

Lecture two by Julie Zelenski for the Programming Abstractions Course (CS106B) in the Stanford Computer Science Department. Julie describes the similarities between C++ and Java, which include general syntax, primitive variable types, operators and control structures; she proceeds to go through the code of a basic C++ program and explains each individual piece of code, headers, global constants, global data types, and calling functions. She also proceeds to write a simple program during the lecture that gets input from the user and prints a statement to the screen.

On “What are the best youtube lectures on computer science?”

I found Programming Abstractions (Stanford) to be really useful at uni. Here's the second lecure in the series, the first is mostly course intro: link to this video The later videos on data structures and sorting/hashing are quite good. Programming language used is ~~java~~ C++ (she talks about Java a lot in the first video as it's used in a prior course) but it's irrelevant to the principles being taught.

On “Ask Proggit: I know no programming. Where should I start? ”

link to this video Try this. I like watching the Stanford lectures on Youtube. Also check out the Jerry Cain lectures from Stanford as well. Scheme is a fun language to learn. The SICP book is a good read. The lectures by Abelson and Sussman are online for you to download. Enjoy, and as an aside, Ruby is interesting.
