Books: choose one of these three:
(1) For real beginners looking for a solid introduction:
C Programming: A Modern Approach, K.N.King, W.W.Norton & Company, 1996. ISBN
0-393-96945-2
(2) For somewhat more experienced users looking for a solid introduction:
The C Programming Language, 2nd Ed. Kernighan & Ritchie. Prentice Hall,
1988. ISBN 0-13-110362-8
(3) Other recommended introductory books:
C: How to Program, 2nd Ed. Deitel, H.M. & Deitel, P.J. Prentice Hall, 1994.
ISBN: 0-13-226119-7
Compilers: get yourself a free C compiler from the Net. (If you're using
Linux, don't bother - gcc should already be installed for you.)
Here are some useful URLs: http://www.compilers.net/ http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/freecompiler/
Further help: this newsgroup can generally help out if you don't understand
your C book's explanation of a particular issue.

Do you recommend the second edition over the newer editions (afaik 3rd &
4th editions are available) for any special reason?

Pure, unadulterated behind-the-timesness.
By all means get a later edition, since they are likely to have taken the
opportunity to fix a few typos.

I know this is an open-ended question. But, can someone recommend a path
for learning Java. I have some minimal background in programming, C and
C++. Time constraints ony allow me a few hours in the evening to work on
this. Any recommendations on books, CBT or on-line training would be great.
Thank you,
Rick

I'm ineterested in learning ASP.NET, in conjunction with both C# and
VB.NET. However, i don't really know where to start.
Are there classes available at local colleges, or do i have to go
through microsoft to find classes? would it be easier to try learning
on my own by purchasing Dummies books and microsoft official books?
Would it be beneficial to pay someone as a private tutor to help me
learn it?
thanks in advance for the replies!

Recently I woke up inclined to take up the task of learning another
programming language. I've already dipped my toes in Perl (I've read online
tutorials and wrote a couple of irrelevant pet projects) but, as the
computers at my workplace only sport the python interpreter, it probably
means that learning python will end up serving me better, at least in the
short run. Plus, you know how Perl goes.
So far the decision seems to be a no...

I'm wondering if I'm doing myself a disservice by learning Visual C#,

Should I be learning console apps first?
I still haven't found the right book.
