i'm sorry, friend, you seem to be mistaking me for something i am not. my google results for ``W-D" only give me results relating to the Western Digital brand of hard drives and Merriam Webster. however, ``[u]W-D c++[/i]" returns a result regarding the book ``C By Discovery" by [b]w.d. foster[b].

I can't appreciate these masterfully crafted posts when you don't begin your sentences with a capital letter, and that makes me sad.

Alright guys, I made a run to Barnes and Noble and got ``Beginning C++ Through Game Programming Second Edition" by Michael Dawson. Is this a good resource? Y/N?

Ah, greetings, greetings, and salutations. I beg your forgiveness. My tardiness was unavoidable.
I recommend ``Sams Teach yourself C++ in 24 hours''

i once tried reading Bjarne's book.
that guy really knows how to pad things out.
i stopped reading because the first 50 pages seemed to be nothing but the "philosophy" of sepples and OOP.

The problem with that book is that it's designed like C++ itself. big, complicated, and not particularly lucid. However, once you've learned C++ fairly well (and being able to write working programs in it doesn't necessarily count) you'll probably also be able to navigate Bjarne's book. It makes a good reference for competent programmers who are occasionally called upon to descend to writing C++ code.
