Kind of like compilers and their wacky "missing ;" messages? Check out the
sites recommended, but at the same time ask if C++ is the language for you,
or whether an attitude adjustment is required.

Even though you never asked it in the body, a missing ';' means exactly
that, you're missing a semicolon.

--
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
return 0 // Wrong, missing ;
}

--
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
return 0; // Correct
}

Now onto the rest of what you said. That "shit" as you like to call it
happens to be the C++ language. If you don't like it, find something else
to keep your time occupied like reading up on proper Usenet etiquette.

Don't. There's enough idiots pretending to be programmers already, and
it fills the newsgroups with chaff.

If you have programming experience in another language, I'd recommend
"Accelerate d C++" by Koenig&Moo.

If you are a complete newbie to programming itself, I'd recommend starting
with another programming language - e.g. Python or Ruby; C++ has a lot of
pitfalls for starters.

If you insist on starting with C++, check out www.accu.org - they've got
tons of book recommendations .

HTH & kind regards
