There are -several- freely available tutorials online. I'd start with one of them first, then grab a book as a reference.

To whom it may concern: A good free online C++ book is Thinking in C++.

A book's quality is relative to every observers frame of reference. I think most SAMS books are shit regardless of wether or not I learned from then or not. After learning the content in them and having had to superceide some of the inaccuracies in the standard conformancy(Teach Yourself C in 21 Days) the hard way, I know that SAMS isn't the way to go. I've read quite a few of their titles, and only swear by one(Beginning Programming in 24 Hours). I'm quite fond of TCP/IP for Dummies and most of their old DOS related books(PCs for Dummies, DOS for Dummies, Email for Dummies...) so I have had good experiences with it. O'Reilly is also very good when it comes to reference manuals, but some of the things in their "Learning" series of books was still somewhat hard to grasp.

huh??? Is he off topic or am I???


anyway, I learned Cay Horstman "Computing Concepts With C++" and I've learned a lot, but I wont lie to you guys, the chapters on classes suck, in my opinion they are poorly explained, at that moment was when I picked up Sam's C++ book, and I understood classes very easily.

I'd recommend both though.

I'm guessing he posted in the wrong thread. I do that a lot.

yeah, i tried to read a "dummies" book on javascript and it was almost totally incoherent. it was as if the author just randomly pulled this shit out of their ass and then didn't even explain it. about three pages into it was a four-f**king page long script broken into counter-intuitive sections.
