Hey,

I am looking for a book (or more) for c++ that teach me the language from the beginning to the point where i should be an "expert" on it. (does not matter if i need more then one book i will learn it )

And if you guys could give me a book that would be good on game developing (I will use Opengl if that matter) that would help me move on.

i know that basics of c++ but i dont think i know enough, I really want a book that cover's everything that i should know.

thanks a lot for your help!

Title^.

I basically have the same knowledge on all of the above and i wanted to know what should i learn and keep going with?

my goal is to create games and someday build (maybe) an engine for myself.

i think i want to use OpenGL for that and i figured that if all of these languages have opengl library (now all of them the same i know)

i should go with one of them.

what is the best choice to go with?

C++ is pretty hard to learn but i can handle it. (pretty fast too from what i understand)

C# is really easy and i can easily learn that language but it's not as quick as C++ and i dont know if the openTK (or what's it called) is the same as opengl openal.. (same function's)

Java same as C# but i dont really like that language i dont know way lol

thanks!

EDIT: update on comment 10 thanks.

im trying to install GLUT but when i run glutmake.bat im ending up with these error's:
 Untitled.png   38.44KB   34 downloads

what should i do? :\

by the way, i saw a tutorial that explained how to use GLUT and install it and there was a step that said that i should check

for the dirctory of VC++ for Opengl32.lib file and i couldn't find one.. it could be the problem? (the opengl32.lib is in the VC folder not VC++)

thanks!

EDIT:
 

some warning's that i saw after going up:

Hey, i recently bought the official book (8th edition) from safari books online and i have some questions:

1. i cant get any compiler to run opengl on c++, can you give me one that i should use? and how can i get it to work? (glut not working either)

2. where can i get the sample from the book? i mean there are function's that they make and i wanna see how they make it.

3. the book is a little hard for me because im kind of new to all that stuff (not programming) and i wanted to ask you how can i

learn what is all that shader stage's and stuff because it's really hard for me to get it and im trying really hard..

is there a site or something that explain it a little bit more understandable for me?

(my english is not that good and i some words may cause me some problems to understand and i really want to understand all of the book..)

if you guys could help me out that would be great!

i really need help on the third one though that's my priority

thanks!

im searching for good books to learn OpenGL from the start to the point that i can develop my own 2D and 3D games.

I saw some books but I dont know if they are good and if i should buy them...

If someone can give me a link to Amazon to order a good book for that that would be great

thanks !

edit: if I need more than 1 book that's ok
