[QUOTE="niemiro, post: 168591, member: 59"] The first of those books was published in 1998, the second in 1988. Irrespective of how good they are (in fact the Kernighan-Richie book is very good), they're not exactly modern. Computers and computer programming has moved on hugely since the times of Windows 2.0/Windows 98. I would stress to all the vital importance of learning C++ especially from a book which teaches the most up to date and modern programming techniques (which is not quite the same as being published this year...there are a lot of bad books out there). C++ hasn't changed all that much in recent years but the way we use it really has. For book recommendations see here - [url=http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list]c++ faq - The Definitive C++ Book Guide and List - Stack Overflow[/url] Also, Jared, what are you trying to program? A .net style GUI? How good is your C#? A .net style GUI coded without using .net? A 2D platformer game? Full 3D game? A composite window with standard UI elements but also a 3D graphics drawing area (like a chemistry app which shows details of a molecule and then a 3D rotating graphic of its structure). [/QUOTE]
