Getting started with C++ and object oriented programming

In terms of understanding the usefulness of object oriented programming I recommend the Java concept tutorials although you will be briefly introduced to java code if find its a great conceptual starter.

In terms of a full C++ tutorial I recommend W3 schools C++ tutorials as they are easier to understand for beginners. https://www.w3schools.com/cpp/

In terms of an in-depth tutorial of C++ I also recommend a Tour of C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup
