There's these books called the "visual quickstart guides", those are good for starting. The books i started programming with were:

c++ the programming language (this book is THE bible)

visual quickstart guide: C++ (the one i mentioned above)

c++ stl but more advanced

Thanks Nabeel. So do you think I should get the Visual Quickstart Guide first. It seems like the best to start out with.

Yeah, it's a good book, I used it more for a reference.

The place where I learned alot was from http://cprogramming.com/

You'll probably be able to find all my posts from 2002-2005 on there haha. But it was a great place to learn the real basics. Visual Quickstart guide is great once you get started to keep going and refer to.

Thanks. I'll try and pick up a copy of that.
