Intro

C++ always has been something that stood in front of me for a long time. I never liked programming at university, which is funny because I often write scripts & tools in scripting languages such as 'mel' and 'python' nowadays.

Programming is a different category from scripting but I have a goal to write a fx plugin sometime using C++ in conjunction with Maya API.

Start

Fortunately there are free books on C++. These 2 books are excellent! You can find links to download them here. In the following section, you will find project files that you can download and learn by reading the source code(s). The projects have been run on Windows and some may not work on different operation system. I will update and add more as I progress and improve. If you spot mistake(s) please let me know.

I'm using this free compiler "Microsoft visual express C++".
