Hello,
I am trying to learn C++ programming to create Linux apps.
I consider my self a System Admin first but am finding that some times being able to create simple little apps would ease my job and help me along the way.
I consider my self very proficient in bash and a novice in perl. I have been reading "How to Program C++" by Deitel & Deitel. It is an excellent book. But I am finding it difficult to start, the book is very thorough and detailed so perhaps it is to detailed for a beginner. Plus it does not cover anything out side the C++ ANSI standard. Like IDE's or using g++ from the command line.
I was thinking that maybe I should pick up something like "Teach Yourself C++ Programming for Linux in 21 Days" by SAMS to give me a kick start and then finish reading the "How to Program C++" book, plus it will be a great reference.
So two questions :)
1. Has any one here read the "Teach Yourself C++ Programming for Linux in 21 Days" book and if so is it any good. Do I require a Window's box to use any example or provided apps ?
2. Would it be worth the $20 bucks or should I just stick with my current book.
Thanks ..
Michael.
