#1
For some random reason I want to learn C++
Ive got:
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
  • A Nice 1022 Page Pdf (The C++ Programming Language [Special 3rd Edition] by Bjarne Stoustrup)
  • A Few Video Tutorials
I should be all set :DOh and if you wanted a copy of The C++ Programming Language [Special 3rd Edition] just ask :)P.S: I'm pretty good with vb6 and i spose i got bored of what it cant do.. Maybe that has something to do with it..

I have the C++ training guide, but I've not had a chance to look at it yet. Be careful when using M$, its a nice IDE, but if you're not careful you'll end up doing everything with MFC and then your code will only ever work on windows. Plain C++ can be cross compiled for other platforms.

A "gripping" C++ guide? People will resort to anything to market their products =/

The only ones I have are the Sam's Teach Yourself series. They're pretty good though.

MFC? Why bother with that when you can core program in Native C++ and do the GUI in Managed C++. :P
