Message: [QUOTE="Ekkehard Morgenstern, post: 1468880"] Hi Jim, In my opinion, Stroustrup's book is ideal for learning the language (since he invented it), especially if you already know other programming languages. If you are a complete newbie to computer programming, you might want to give it a go anyway or keep it for referring to it later on. If you're new to computer programming, try learning C first. Or Pascal. I learnt BASIC first, then Pascal, then C, then C++. BASIC gave me the quickest feedback in programming, Pascal taught me structured programming, and C was already a lot harder to learn (I used the C learning book from Thomas Plum). I learnt C++ after having 7 years of C experience, and more than 10 years after I started programming. C++ can be very complex, but very powerful also. I've done C++ for 10 years now, but still find new and interesting applications for it. I hope that helps. Regards, Ekkehard Morgenstern. [/QUOTE]
