Learning New Languages

[rbayer]

I learned just about everything I know from a book I read by Deitel and Deitel. It was called C++: How To Program, 2nd ed.

There is truly no substitute for practice, but if you want somewhere to start, my advice would be to grab some source code of a fairly simple project and try to read through as much as you can. If you want a challenge, try reading through some bigger stuff such as RoboEmu, which is written entirely in C++ (the windows version).

Also, as always, if you run into trouble or have any questions (which you probably will if you've never done pointers before), post here or email/pm me and I (along with several other people, I'm sure) would be willing to help.
