Hello, I am starting to learn C++, and I went to the Public Library and rented to C++ books. I just wanted to know if any of these are good. If not can you tell me a book that is good for a person learning C++. Here are the books: CodeGuru.Com Visual C++ GOODIES, Learn Visual C++ Now.

And also what is better the regular Enterprise C++ 6.0 Or .NET? Thanks again.

To answer your questions...

Neither of those books will teach you C++. Those are guides to the Microsoft Visual C++ programming environment, and almost certainly assume that you already are familiar with C++.

In other news, .NET is a better bet than 6, if you can get it.

I learned all that I know in C++ from my Computer Science class at school, but if you can't take one of those try to get a "For Dumbies" book.  I used that for vb.net and it helped me get into the programming world. But there are WAY better books out there.  So go to a book store and ask someone that works there, they could probably help.

If you are inexperienced in C itself, Kernighan and Ritchie's The C Programming Language Second Edition will teach you a lot (including a lot of examples of what code exists in the C standard library).  If you are planning on just doing OO development, then disregard my suggestion.
