They have the advantage of being free. Accelerated C++ is also good.   ;Quote:Original post by jpetrieGenerally, I would not recommend C++ as a first languageRight, but I assumed the OP already has programming experience in other languages...Quote:Original post by Hell-Oi need to choose the BEST book or at least one of the best for begginers to intermidate ....even though he couldn't spell "beginner" and "intermediate" correctly :)   ;  Maybe; doesn't hurt to point it out though as long as one is also going to answer the actual question.   ;  what i dont care! i want to learn C++ as my first language and so what i cant write those words english is not my native lang...i just need a good book thats all tell me the name of a book you recommend please no uneccesary worng spelling and chossing another lang i just asked for a bookthanks in advance!=);Quote:what i dont care!
