Re: [Dev-C++] A question

Aloha from Honolulu,
   I got "Sams Teach Yourself C++..." at CompUSA, "The Complete=20
Reference..." at Barnes & Noble Booksellers, and "Effective C++..." at a=20
used-books store.  If those aren't nearby, try Amazon.com or perhaps an=20
on campus bookstore at your local college, often they'll have used editio=
ns.
   As for not being able to learn it in 24 hours, that's just the=20
title.  The book is organized into 24 lessons.  I've studied them one at=20
a time and run through the codes.  Its taken me about 3 or 4 hours per=20
lesson.  Some are more complex than others.  I look things up in other=20
books when something is not clear and I'm not concered about how long it=20
takes, just how well I understand the subject matter.  When something is=20
still puzzling me after looking at my books, I email this users list or=20
look around at other web sites--type C++ in the search engine and see=20
where it leads.
   The book by  Bjarne Stroustrup is also at Barnes & Noble, but it was=20
$5 more than "The Complete Reference...",  its copyright date was 2002=20
(vs 2003), "The Complete Reference..." has more pages, and the author of=20
"The Complete Reference..." served on the ANSI/ISO committee that=20
published the standard.  Don't get me wrong; as soon as I can part with=20
another $50 chunk on a book, I'll add Stroustrup to my library.  But=20
when spending that much, I examined both books thoroughly  before =20
making my choice.
Happy Programming,
Roger
