Hi all,
I need some advice on what books and software I should buy so that I can learn to program in Java and C++... can anyone recommend any books that they have found to be particularly useful in learning these languages? I have already learnt a fair amount of Visual Basic and I know plenty about it, but I am a complete newcomer to Java and C++ so I would need something for a total beginner that would allow me to progress to, say, an intermediate level. I will be starting a Computer Science degree course soon so I thought it would be a good idea to start learning these two in my spare time - they seem like a good progression from VB. Also, what programs/development software could you recommend I buy that would be best for a first time user? Should I go for Microsoft Visual J++ or Borland, or Visual C++ or something else?
Any help or advice on where to start with guidebooks and software will be very much appreciated! Please reply here or write to me at lee_meyers@denbigh.net !
