Hey guys,

I am currently reading Thinking in C++ V1+V2
maybe not the easiest way to learn C++ but its good and well structered and has a high reputation among "experts"..
another advantage: its actually free just google it...

Seems like a reputable publication. Maybe I'll use it as a guide when I start teaching actual C++.

Here's what I'm reading on the train: Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach

Basically it is THE book to read if you are interested in artificial intelligence (and if you're a game programmer, you should interested in artificial intelligence).

oh lawd.... i had to read parts of this in 12th grade for a special lesson in school. We did a chess computer using parts of the ideas of this book... but i guess it was an older version of the book

Thank God , we have it in Russian. Grinding through it in English might be a pain. Didn't have any problems with other C++ books though, maybe the reason is that the first chapters are relatively easy.

Yeah, the first few chapters are light reading, but it gets heavier after that. I think it was written primarily for use in graduate-level courses, so it sort of assumes some familiarity with things like set theory, graph theory, etc.
