[owpE3TCk]

I have a friend interested in programing what do you think I should teach her first?

Get an introductory book and get her to work through that, you can help her when she gets stuck or teach her from it.

Anyways all seriousness.. You should show them some of the tutorials on this site. http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
Some of the tutorials on http://www.learncpp.com/
And another great site is this http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html

basic input/output, functions, variables, what a namespace is and what the #include <file> is


not in that order

The tutorial on this site is reasonably good, it was what I (primarily) learned from. The order certainly makes sense, and that can make a difference (you wouldn't (and most likely couldn't) teach classes before teaching variables).
