** Beginner: How to bridge the gap between basic C++ knowledge to openFOAM programming

description:

I have a mechanical engineering background with
only undergraduate classes in various programming (C++, lingo, VB, html).
My goal is to become free to use openFOAM as I please.

I did all the tutorials on http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ to
refresh my knowledge and I am still very confused when I‘m trying to understand the source code in openFOAM.
I get lost trying to get to the source of several layers of classes of code for simple features.
What can I do to bridge this gap.

answer:

1)Dr. Hvoje Jasak presentation at the 6th OpenFOAM workshop http://www.openfoamworkshop.org/6th_...ak2_slides.pdf

2)Dr. Tommaso Lucchini programming tutorial http://cfd.iut.ac.ir/files/Tutorial,...20Diego%20.pdf

3) The Programmer Guide Addendum that appears in the OpenFOAM wiki has many interesting topics written by different authors: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ma...rGuideAddendum
