"...our book shops and libraries are so stupid they don''t even think of buying these books cause they are thick."

That''s sad...

I love walking into a big book store and just sitting and reading one of these books for a few hours. You can get the relavent info you wanted from the book, and not have to pay for the other 900 pages of stuff that is useless to you. On topic, I''d just have to agree with the others and say Advanced C++ and TOTWGPG.

Hey, I''m in the same boat as the guy who originally posted the message, but does anyone know of any books for Linux OpenGL programming?

Thanks

I was thinkning that Linux is kinda far-fetched for game-programming... I don''t know. Maybe somebody else''ll have less pesimistic suggestions...

OpenGL Game Programming and Linux Game Programming are your best bets for getting you into programming games for Linux, but I personally wouldn''t develop for linux because you''ll be programming for a rather limited audience compared to those who ave windows at home. Granted your software ought to wind up being fairly easy to convert over to other OSs, but I''d stick with Windows programming. Whatever floatsyour boat

DIRECTXMAN - I just want to say I agree with the other poster. I''ve seen you reply to many threads before where you pasted that huge list from amazon.com. You really should just post a link to it instead it is quite iritating to scroll through 4 pages of your copied post.

As to the_serp, you should really just focus on C++ for now it is a long road.
