I would not recommend going through OpenFOAM source as a beginner. It
uses quite a bit of advanced concepts like templating (w, w/o inheritance) and others. It would be preferable that you start of with a book for e.g. Barton and Nackman's Scientific C++ book that introduces the OO concepts well. Then start of with OpenFOAM source. -Badri |

Well... Did Doxygen help you? It's propably useful for someone who already knows OO basics.
I've had some help from the book "C++: The core language" by Gregory Satir and Doug Brown. I have the first edition from 1995, but maybe there's a later edition. It deals with the basics, while deliberately avoiding concepts that would only confuse you. Why not start having a look at icoFoam, for example, having the user guide and programmers guide nearby. From there maybe you can start exploring. /Ola |

If you are looking for a very general intro, you might take a look at
Bruce Eckel's Thinking in C++ /mark |
