Ok, i have alot of questions.
I have read the book "C++ primer plus".
Are there any other C++ books that can take me from that point and on-to a more advanced level?


Also, I want to learn both c and c++.
The only book i have read is "c++ primer plus" and i am thinking about getting the book "c primer plus".
Is it worth getting another book on c?

Is c# the best language for windows GUI? I am learning c++ but it seems that c# is more popular in that area, is that correct?
If so, what beginner book should i buy on c#. I was thinking about "C# primer plus".

Last question. What programming languages does falco know?
(optional question)

Ok , it should cover the "advanced" topics like pointers and stuff, in programming, its not the syntax that makes your program "advanced" its how you use it. Its like an essay, you can be concise and have a big vocabulary or have small vocabulary and take forever to get to the point.

and C/C++ allows more low level programming than c# (from what Im aware of) C/C++ is like the daddy of C#, its the main thing in the software industry, C/C++ is the best place to stick with for now, since lots of languages are similar synatx

Thanks, can anybody answer the other questions?

Well here's something you need to decide; Since you read C++ Primer Plus, did you like the way the information was presented, or are you looking for something a little different? C Primer Plus will likely have a structure similar to that of C++ Primer Plus. If you thought it didn't explain things well, I'd recommend trying something else.

I read Sams Teach Yourself C++ in an Hour a Day. Although the title is misleading (considering some lessons will obviously take longer than an hour) I loved the way everything was presented. To me, it explained most things very well, to a point where there were just a few little things here and there that I just had to look up.

Now for the second question, I'm not entirely sure, but it sure seems to be headed in the C# direction, to me. I'm currently dabbling in C#, and I love it, haven't gotten to some of it's more advanced features, but hope to soon. But for a GUI, I would think C# would prevail, considering it's use of interfaces. On the other hand, though, you can do practically the same thing in C++. So I think it's probably a matter of preference. Although, I consider myself a lower than a novice, so don't take my word for it xD.

Not sure what languages Falco knows. I know he knows C and C++, but outside of that, I haven't the slightest clue =p.

What i was asking: Should i get a C book even though i already know C.
Thanks anyways.

Thank you guys for helping.

Not much is different between C and C++ , C++ has some synatx changes and C++ is like C plus more (hence the name)

btw the link I posted covers both C/C++ in the book, and there differences

A lot.

Once you get competent, you will learn that once you know a few, you basically know all of them. You will also never ask somebody that again, because it means almost nothing.

C++ is an extension of C. It's basically an Object Oriented version of C, so you might as well just learn C++.
