Hi there Game Dev.
Author
Well hi there,
Where do I start im 31 and havent programmed for about 20 years and that was some basic programs on my old spectrum. And those I copied from listing in magazines and books.
I had been mentioning to a freind that I fancied getting into programming and maybe creating "the next big thing"(tm).
Well I obviously have a lot to learn I do hope that I am in the right place.
Right well to get me started I have a nice R700 Samsung Laptop, with Vista Home.
On the programming side my freind kindly bought me a copy of Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days 5th Edition.
Its a big and intimidatin blue book. Is it a good place to start?
Well thats my first post over with.
Regards
Brian.
Well, the general rule is covered here. Having not read the particular book in question I will decline from commenting further.
Whatever book you choose, good luck!

get rid of the %22. Maybe it was your first 'test'? [grin]
No, no test, just missing a quotation mark in the HTML. [smile] I usually check links after I post them, it would be the one time I didn't that I mess up [grin]. Fixed now in any case.

C++ is a big and intimidating language. It is up to you, but the general consensus here on gamedev.net is that C++ is not a great language for beginners. You will spend too much time fighting the language itself. In C++ there exists a large gap between "right" and "wrong", where the language itself doesn't specify what should happen.
A better language would be Python. It is far more expressive and easier to use.
