newbie
Im a beginner at programming and dont have many options to learn. I have a book(one), and a free compiler i found on www.bloodshed.net. Thats it, other that the web, i am having a bit of a hard time. I would really appreciate it if you could leave a sight or book or compiler you may recommend for me. I will be thank full for anything you can give. thank you.
Tater Tot --- king of all spuds but unfortunatly as smart as one too
Dev-C++ will do fine for compiling. I recommend C++ in 21 days, but everyone tends to recommend the book that they started with.
EDIT: You can find the second edition of C++ in 21 Days free on the internet.

thanks for the info horsesarenotevil. I really appreciate it, i currently have the dev-c++ from bloodshed and c++ for dummies, i thank you again kind sir. And i agree, horses are not evil. Please keep em coming
Oops... see, I''m really cowsarenotevil, but I got banned (well, all of my posts say "I like cheese") but anyway, you''re welcome. Also try cprogramming.com
Thanks agian cow/horsesarenotevil, i have been there but i still have a hard time grasping things. i have taken the tutorials but not really understood them. I am really determined to be a game programmer, but am not good at math either. but i thank you (agian...) for your post, everythign helps.
I''ve....I''ve never seen anyone so polite on the Iternet before....
I hope it doesn''t catch on! I''d hate people to expect ME to be polite like that :D
You could try a book called "Windows Game Programming for Dummies" - it''s not bad at all, although it assumes a reasonable level of proficiency in C/C++. Another place to try is http://www.gametutorials.com/ . They have a nice set of console (that''s text) games which help teach very basic C++, and lead right up to a basic RPG.
G''luck,
RM.

Yes. it''''s true, I DO wield the ugly stick. And I see I have beaten you with it before!

I know of a free C++ book available in downloadable form. It's nothing fantastic but it's beter than a kick in the grits.

c++ in 21 days is a good choice , and you should buy a book about algorithms...only learning what a programming language can do is boring , i got algorithms in c (from sedgewick, because i try to be a c programmer its a quite good book
