Thus spake Gavin Henry: > I need some good books.

I always suggest picking up a copy of "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie. That's the classic C book that I think everyone should have. If you decide to go with C++, then you should pick up a copy of "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup -- it's the tome for C++. > One more question, should I go for C or C++? Which will benefit me more with > GNU/Linux? It sort of depends on what you want to do. The Linux kernel, most system libraries, and GNOME/GTK+ applications use C. KDE/Qt applications use C++. -- Nathan Poznick <poznick@conwaycorp.net> The only way you can do that [decrease taxes, balance the budget, and increase military spending] is with mirrors, and that's what it would take. - John B.
