ArC | I'm interested in learning C++, could anyone suggest some any books or sites to me? | January 24, 2003, 12:23 AM |
Zakath | The book I learned the basics from isn't bad...Deitel and Deitel's Object Oriented Programming in the UML, as I recall, is the title. | January 24, 2003, 12:49 AM |
Noodlez | The C++ Programming Language | January 24, 2003, 1:22 AM |
Eibro | Websites off the top of my head... http://www.cprogramming.com http://www.cpp-home.com http://www.cplusplus.com Books... I wouldn't recommend "The C++ Programming Language" as a first book. Look here: http://www.accu.org/bookreviews/public/reviews/0sb/beginner_s_c__.htm#recbook | January 24, 2003, 1:34 AM |

It's sooo long and you'll want to stop reading it once you get done with the history of cpp section(like me). hehehe if you're not a big reader then I wouldn't really recommend this book. It's great for reference, but too detailed for my liking. I got started with a book called teach yourself c++ in 24 hours by liberty. It's a lot shorter and it covers a lot about standard c++. | January 24, 2003, 3:18 AM |
Grok | I've recommended Sam's Publishing "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days" to a dozen people, and each has been happy with the book. It's an excellent kick-start. | January 24, 2003, 10:52 AM |

[/quote] I like this book...I've chewed through pretty much the whole thing since I've had it, and it's an excellent reference on standard library stuff. Pity you didn't like all the detail... | January 24, 2003, 12:03 PM |
MesiaH | ill go with grok, i dont own a c++ book of sams, but ive read html and vb ones, and it comes with a lil extra's cd to get u started as well, sams is a very nice book, not the cheapest though. | January 24, 2003, 5:32 PM |

I have no question that this a great book to learn c++ with, but it just wasn't for me. | January 24, 2003, 6:06 PM |
ArC | Well. I went to Barnes and Noble, only books i could find there was C++ How To Program Fourth Edition By H.M Deitel and P.J Deitel. I hope am on the right track. :) | January 24, 2003, 8:27 PM |
Grok | Your Barnes & Noble must really suck. Mine has about 8 isles of computer books, about 6 racks per idle, 4 shelves per rack, and 18-20 books per shelf. Of those, at least 3 racks are nothing but C/C++. | January 25, 2003, 12:24 AM |

I usually just order off of amazon, they have free shipping deals from time to time, plus in most cases it's cheaper. | January 25, 2003, 12:25 PM |
WolfSage | 2 things. Borders has many computer books. (About 8 shelves) And Sams Teach your-self C++ owns. :) (Eth! Borders! Gogo you lazy bastard!) | January 26, 2003, 12:33 AM |

dRAgoN | i still recomend MicrosoftPress ^^ | January 26, 2003, 4:25 AM |
Invert | When i was learning programming in college they used Deitel and Deitel books. I have a nice array of the Deitel and Deitel books, I like them all. I did get started with Sams C++ in 24hrs book on my own. Someone stole that book from me :( | January 29, 2003, 9:37 PM |
