What do you think of that C++ book? I haven''t heard anyone mention it yet... I think it assumes you have previous C knowledge. Signed: ___T____

It is a pretty good book. The third edition of the book does NOT assume you can program in C. The author found out that was a deep, deep mistake and rewrote the book to teach straight C++ from the bottom up.

Overall, it''s a good book, so I suggest you get it. However, I think it''s also a good idea to read Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days: Complete Compiler Edition (comes w/ Visual C++ Intro Edition) alongside it.

I treat C++ for Dummies more like a quick reference manual, myself. When I want to find out all the information I can on, say, pointers, I look into both books and read all the chapters and sections on the subject. This way you get the full experience and I''d say you learn more.

Albeit there are hundreds of books and tutorials on C++ in stores and on the Internet that you can use, but this is just what I''m doing. Online tutorials, I don''t suggest, because you either have to print every single page or read off of your light-emmitting screen. It''s free, but not very intuitive.
