I have just recently finshed a very good book on C++ called Sams Teach yourself C++ in 21 days it was a BIG book. I want to get into Game programing what should I take up now? Edited by - Zekk on October 21, 2001 9:54:24 PM

heh.. well technically that was just a primer..
that book doesn''t teach you half of what c++ has to offer..
but if you want to get into game programming go here:

Hmm ok that was a big book though

I am almost done with Sam''s Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days : Fourth Edition, and I need to know what C++ book I should read next. Any recommendations?

Now your onto windows programming

Windows Programming from the Ground Up is a good book.

Good luck.

Game programming, you can get lost in number of books on it. You can get go with directx, you can get graphics and sound add-ons or you can go with engines.

PS I am looking or a programmer. At the moment I am using The Game factory - an engine.
