C++ material

[rudra]

Dear friends,
as in the previous post, i told i am just started learnning C++ and i
have no background in C either. in my institute, there is no C/C++
user and hence my learnning is very slow as i have found C++ a bit
complicated(plz dnt get angry). Some ppl(not experienced) ppl
suggested me to learn C first before venturing to C++....is it a good
idea? because, the syntax might be same but as far as i understood,
the approach in attackin a problem is quite different.
Recently i have found a nice book by Herbert Schildt nameing **C++
Nuts and Bolts, for Experienced Programmers** with which i can go much
with my previous experience.
though internet is filled with C++ tutorials, there dependability is
in question; as even a novice as me can found one is contradicting
other. So will you ppl plz suggest me some good resources in net?
I have that book by Schildt and Strousstrup(found a bit hard).Any
other good book?

Google for "Thinking in C++" by Eckel.

You really should buy a book or two.

_Accelerated C++_ by Koenig and Moo.

Somebody else already mentioned _Thinking in C++_.

You should also cruise to www.accu.org and check their book
reviews. When you've got the basics down then you will want
to delve into specialized areas.

Stroustrup.

Ok, if Schildt and Stroustrup wrote a book together
A) I'm surprised,
B) I've never heard of it, and
C) I'm REALLY surprised.

You will probably be able to handily live without Schildt.
I've heard that one of his more recent C++ books is ok, but
the earlier ones have left a bad enough taste that I really
can't be bothered to check.

It reminds me of an old joke about the opera, the punchline
of which is "You bloody do it again until you bloody get
it right!"

I think you're probably joking, but the parse is "I have Schildt, and I
also have Stroustrup".

After you have learned C++, using C is painful - yes. :-)

Right. I am feeling lot of difficulty in learning C right now. Most of the
times I forget about the problem I am working on ans struggle with K&R2.

Many Many people say that C++ is complex and monstrous whereas C is small
and simple. I have found C to be as complex as of C++. Regarding C++ is a
big monster, thats not as much of as a big deal as many people think :)

If you want to learn C, do that. If you want to learn C++, do that.

I tried learning C first and my C++ code was terrible, then I took the
opposite approach and I am happy now.

There are lots of things in C, mostly low level, that you have
absolutely no use for in C++. Why spend your time learning that, if the
goal is to learn C++?

Exactly. The 1st question is not C++ or C. It is what is th goal of yours ?
