Oh man, should you have posted this thread a little earlier, I coulda helped! I used to have about 2 or 3 programming tutorial books on just about every major language out there, and most of them were really good! Unfortunately, I donated them to my school a couple months ago. My personal recommendation is this book. Even though it says "Game Programming" in the title, it should instead be called, "C++ from the ground up, with a few blurbs about how what you learn can be applied in games". Makes the reading a bit more interesting, and the book itself is, in my opinion, quite solid. Good luck!

I have that book and this one. That C++ book is pretty good, but the Game Programming All-in-one book revolves around C, Allegro (library) and Dev-Cpp, all of three which I don't honestly recommend.CronoTriggerfan wrote:My personal recommendation is this book....
Get Visual Studio 6 (or 2005) for programming in C++.

The book CTFan suggested looks good, (starts saving up money). and Skyone, doesn't Visual Studio 6 cost money? Us portablizers don't have that much money to spend...

VC++ express sucks! seriously I can run a program on Dev C++, but the said program comes up with about 50+ errors when I try to compile it in VC...ZN13 wrote:I have that book too! Great book.
But, get VC++ Express, it's free.
But it's also annoying that you can only have one express edition.

I used to use QBasic years ago; but as with other forms of Basic, it needs to run in either MS DOS, DR DOS or Windows 3.xx .
I think I may still have QBasic somewhere if you need it; it isn't of any use to man or beast unless you have the above operating systems though! Later versions of Windows (95 upwards) don't run in a DOS environment so can't run it. I learnt programming in DOS back in 1983 while I was at college, and Assembly Language. (those were the days!).
