Tutorials and Plaguarism

I am in the process of writing some tutorials for C/C++, and I began to consider plaguarism. I have several books on C/C++, and when writing the tutorials I would skim over them and take notes from each book, combine them, and summarize everything into sections. I was wondering if this would be considered plaguarism, since the tutorials may resemble the books structure in some ways. I am mostly writing these tutorials to reinforce my knowledge of the language and also to give beginners another option when learning. When finished, I plan to put them up on a website and submit them to gamedev.net if they are worthy. Thanks for your time. Adam Sheehan
as long as the tutorials arent a direct rip off, and you dont
use any of their graphics, illustrations, ect, than i dont think
it should be a problem...
also, i wouldnt advise ''quoting'' or ''paraphrasing'' anything
the original author said..
everybody is copying someone else in some form or another, be it
a teacher, writer, speaker, whatever.. just remember to give
credit where credit is due.
