'Lo Yuneek - I'm also aiming to get into game development. I guess the only differences between us is that your website development company is successful (whereas mine is possibly the worst in the country), and I'm 16 (and I'm assuming you're not). Anyway, I recommend C for Dummies - unlike most Dummies books, this one's excellent. Now I just need to read that freakin' game development book...

Are you all writing the graphics for your games in OpenGL or Active X?

I'm using DirectX, because Andre LaMothe says I should.

I'd have to disagree. You'll spend a lot of time 'un-learning' the bad habits you picked up with C. C++ lets you hide things behind cleaner layers of abstraction - you don't have to 'scrape the surface' too much. Lazy people like myself are very, very thankful for that.

talking out of my ass here...

i have a book for "game programming in 24 hours" that i haven't had much time to look at. i got it off amazon for less than $2.00 so you can probably find it pretty cheap. check it out.
