well i have been looking at some video tutorials and read some web pages but i think a book would be really helpful. Getting a good C++ book where i live could be tricky so I want to order from the internet. The problem is that its hard to find a good book on the internet too. So i want some suggestions on books that are good. Thanks for any help
C++ Without Fear by Brian Overland is newbie friendly. It teaches the basics and in a good order. And check out this website for more useful info and book recommendations.
well I looked up that book and its real cheap on amazon so I will probably get it. Thanks for the link to the site too. Some good stuff on there
I think I actually looked at C++ for Dummies I also had another book Algorithms in C++ but yeah that's not focused on the language
http://www.amazon.com/Primer-4th-Stanley-B-Lippman/dp/0201721481/ref=dp_ob_title_bk this seems to be the latest edition of the book I used to learn C++ at university. I found it to be pretty solid and well organized.
Problem solving with C++ 7th edition Mind you its a text book for college, and is 80$ but is quite possibly one of the best text books I've ever read.
thanks for all the suggestions. Ill look into them and see which one ill get. One thing though Im having a problem with a small project. Im getting these errors: [warning] comparison is always true due to limited range of data type [warning] comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [warning] multi-character character constant They are showing up for a lot of lines but I dont know what they mean at all.
I had to deal with much more than that last year when I learned java. Does it tell you what lines they're on? It'd be easier if I could see the code because I suck at giving explanations, some guys here are probably better than I am
Would you mind posting the code you wrote? It might be easier for me to explain that way Actually I'm not sure if I can because I'm more used to Java now, but I can try
ok i thought it would be easier to post here again then start a new topic. So i have got the first book mentioned "C++ without fear" and I have to admit its really good. Im nearly finished with that. While gong through it I have made quite a few text games. My best one I think is a game that allows you to bet on horses. Anyway back on topic. I want to start with graphics and I decided to try and start with Allegro as that is meant to be good but not too difficult. My problem is setting it up. Its got so many steps. I tried to download using the package thing on DevC++ but that didnt work. So i looked up and you have to move some files around but....... I just dont get it. Anyway got a site with straight steps on what to do??
