Hi I am just starting out with the whole c++ thing and was wondering if any one had any suggestions for some resources, books, online documentation, articles, websites, etc. Three books I am looking at are: "Practical Visual C++ 6" By Jon Bates and Tim Tompkins and "Thinking In C++" Vol. 1&2 By Bruce Eckel Oh and one Last thing. Does anybody else have blisters on their right pinky from all the 0)-_=+[{}];'"\ ect.:laugh: Thanks

WOW! :omg::cool: toxcct wrote: the difficulty in this book it to pass the 2 or 3 first chapters, but if you really want to, you can discover many things about C++ with it ! I agree! There are great techniques and deep philosophy within the book. But the style: *jump here and jump there so often* ... kind of flaw of this book. Sometimes in a paragraph, for example it says: "foobar (Section 16.3.5) ...". And I moved there onto section 16.3.5, and I found nothing related. Sometimes in the index it says that some jargon lies on page N, and I moved to that page N. I searched over and over within that page but couldn't find that word. :sigh:

I started studying C++ with the book "C++ From The Ground Up, 2nd Edition" by Herbert Schildt. I read that book thoroughly from the beginning to the end without any skim. But later I read Bjarne's book in the way picking topics which I haven't learned. So index plays an important key to me. I read the English version, although I am a native Chinese speaker. I hate computer books in Chinese so much, because the translation for some jargons is bitch, hard to understand. toxcct wrote: a french traduction A French translation. :-D traduce[^], (English): to strongly criticize someone, especially in a way that harms their reputation. traduction[^] (French): translation. When I was in university, I studied the French language. But never have a chance to use in practice. Now I've forgot all about French... :sigh::(( Je ne sais pas... ;P toxcct wrote: i said to me, "well, i'll see later..." Sounds like an avenger. Ha ha! :-D toxcct wrote: we do agree it is a good book Indeed!! ;)
