Hi people ,

Im looking for a really good book for advanced C++ programming , which
has knowledge about external libraries such as BOOST / SDL , their
usage etc, Could any of you suggest such a book , would be really
helpful !

Thanks,

If you want to write SDL applications, download it and browse the
"getting started" docs on their site. Use one of their sample
programs (or get one from NeHe) as a template and build your own
application. To paraphrase Violet from "It's a Wonderful Life", don't
you ever get tired of just readin' about things?

OCaml for Scientists covers data structures and OpenGL but in OCaml rather
than C++.

That's nice, but Gaurav asked for books on C++. Why don't you just find
an OCaml group and hang out there instead?

If you're quitting so easily after one reply you didn't like, how are
you going to learn everything from a single book? Learning requires
effort on your part. What is worse, *programming* requires actually
more effort than learning about it. If you can't endure frustrations
while you're learning, you better stick to flipping burgers, mate.

A valid point. But I wonder, is it really a question of enduring a frustrating
process? Or would it be more accurate to say that someone who has a calling
for programming simply enjoys a process that most others find frustrating?

It amazes me how people form opinions with insufficient information
(or rather insufficient intellect) ! If you look at the last line of
my previous post , "...maybe i should consider reading magazines
rather than posting here" , in no way does it mean i am quitting
learning C++. Read the last 2 words mate , and let me know if you need
more explanation. I dont think im the one who needs to be "flippin
burgers" !

In your case I think I've overemphasised the frustrations. They are,
unfortunately, a part of the process. I am not sure what people in
fact enjoy in programming. I enjoy the final result. Programming is
means to an end, not a purpose for me. So, naturally, when you walk,
you bound to trip or stab your toe now and then. Those that can't
handle the frustration of tripping, shouldn't be walking.

Your last two words were posting here; if you want to do that please
learn not to top post if you really want help.
