Hi, Ari. The books sold on safari which contains books from Oreilly, Sam's, and others are all read online in your web browser. So they are quite accessible that way. The catch 22 is you have to be online and logged in to your account to read them as you learn. As for C++ I wouldn't call it a beginners language, but I guess if you get a book written on a basic level you might be able to catch on. I guess for free books Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days can be gotten from http://www.blindprogramming.com but the version on blindprogramming.com is pretty ancient. In fact everything on blindprogramming.com is out dated. If you do decide to go fore the free materials on Blindprogramming be aware modern C++ compilers will give you build errors and warnings about the code being out of date. They use headers in the free books on there that are no longer used. If you want to try commercially available books that are very recent http://safari.oreilly.com has a 14 day trial where you can view the materials for two weeks for free before you owe any money.
