Hey guys! What's up!
I bought 2 C++ programming books a couple of days ago and I'm going through them simultaneously.
"C++ Without Fear".
Now this is a really good book that tells you alot about the basic stuff of C++. You might want to look into it, if you're really serious about learning C++.
"Beginning C++ Through Game Programming".
This book seems alot easier than the first one, because it goes over information a little slower.
There's some really awesome 'got-to-know' things that can come in handy when creating games!
These books are really helping me out alot and they make you understand alot of new information about C++. So if you don't want to just bet on the videos of our good friend Chili, but you also want to learn alot aside, these books are one thing that will make your learning progress alot easier and faster!!!
Cheers.

Hey Natox! Glad to see topics like this!
I might get 1 too! I can see you are from the netherlands (ik ook
) where can I buy them? I hope they aren't that expensive. 
PS: Are they written in english or nederlands? (for the english ppl out there, we are from the netherlands so I would like to know
)

You can buy the books in any decent bookstore like "Selexyz Gianotten" and "bol.com".WwortelHD wrote:Hey Natox! Glad to see topics like this!

They might have to order it though, since the programming shelves are usually quite empty.
Think the prices are around € 30,- I think. You might be able to buy the digital versions on bol.com too which might be a bit cheaper.

Hey everyone, just figured I'd share the books I'm constantly flipping through.
"C++ How to Program"
By Paul Deitel & Hervey Deitel
A book that is very comparable to C++ Without Fear and I highly recommend it.
"C++ Primer Plus"
By Stephen Prata
Um, exactly what it says it is. I find it nice to read along side C++ How to Program. This and C++ How to Program are my two main resources.
"The C Programming Language"
By Brian W. Kernighan & Dennis M. Ritchie
I honestly haven't gone through this one, but it's on my bookshelf and I always see it @ college bookstores. Suppose to be highly recommended but it just looks really bland to me.
"Beginner DirectX11 Game Programming"
By Allen Sherrod & Wendy jones
Haven't read too much into this one yet. Been having fun going through the Chili Tutorials. I'll probably go through it when I've got caught up on the Chili Tutorials.

Re: A book...that might help you!
This one is actually good and easy to understand as it gives info in terms of gaming. Reading through it now and finding it quite entertaining.Natox wrote:Hey guys! What's up!

Re: A book...that might help you!
Please tell what edition or year these books came out, because i'm looking on this Beginning C++ Through Game Programming, but there are like 3 editions. 
Re: A book...that might help you!
I'm reading the third one, so I can't say what's the difference between them.Crypt wrote:Please tell what edition or year these books came out, because i'm looking on this Beginning C++ Through Game Programming, but there are like 3 editions.
