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.

I would suggest thinking about a langauge before asking about a book correct?

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

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 recommend GPU Gems 2 or 3 by Nvidia for really neat stuff... (this is a bit advanced.)

A good book, would be The C Programming Language. It's written by the developers of the language. It's worth a read.

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