Suggestions for Books
Hey Elysian Shadows and the Chaos Rift community, I have a question about programming. Would anybody be so kind as to give me helpful suggestions on some good programming books for begginers (any language, I'm not fusssy). Thank you in advance.
Greatness comes once every lifetime, as the nice lord bj proves this, nobody can be great more than once in their lifetime, he had his day, his birth was great. It caused awesomeness to die, and programmers to shudder. For a day that is...
Code: Select all

Well, if I had to choose a language it would be Ruby or C++ as I already have Bin files etc. installed for these.

Re: Suggestions for Books
There are quite a few books posted in this thread, page two. If you're looking for super-beginner books, "C++ for Dummies" is alright :)
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

I recommend GPU Gems 2 or 3 by Nvidia for really neat stuff... (this is a bit advanced.)
Re: Suggestions for Books
A good book, would be The C Programming Language. It's written by the developers of the language. It's worth a read.
There are 10 types of people in this world; those who understand binary and those who don't.

C++: a beginners guide by herbert schildt, a pretty good read for beginners I think

I think I can program pretty well, it's my compiler that needs convincing!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now a joke to lighten to mood :D
I wander what programming language anakin skywalker used to program C3-PO's AI back on tatooine? my guess is Jawa :P
