C++ - BlueJay - 08-18-2015
So I just started learning C++ and wondering where does it actually come into play. I haven't seen the code used often. Can someone tell what is good for?

http://www.stroustrup.com/applications.html is a list of applications which utilize c++. It is used quite frequently when performance is imperative.

Where does C++ "come into play"? Hmm...
Basically everything. (if we speak of C++ and C interchangeably; because they are really similar and somewhat interchangeable)
I you name any one application, any program; you'd better be sure C/C++ is down the line.
Here's a list of some of the more prominent ones:
- Operating Systems (Windows, Linux)
- Web browsers
- Games & Game Engines
- Servers
C is like the godfather of modern, powerful languages. (atleast in my opinion)

Say no more.
Well said, I have nothing to add.

Anyone got any suggestions on the best place to learn some C++?

Doesn't really matter where you learn it from as long as it teaches it properly. If you are into books, C++ Primer or C++ The language from the author of the language Bjarne Stroustrup is a great source to learn from.
Additional Resources:
C++ Programming
Learn CPP
C++ Tutorial
Just focus on the basics. Learn the core concepts thoroughly and then start working on projects. Use Google and stackoverflow to get answers to your questions or problems you are having with your program.

Really anything will help. I liked http://www.cprogramming.com/.
BTW: If you need any help, I'd be happy to help you with learning C++!

Really good information, I only seen the programs run in command prompt. I thought everyone moved on to GUI.
