This book: http://btobsearch.barnesandnoble.com/textbooks/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?us erid=2VU1IVSMPQ&btob=Y&isbn=0131103628&TXT=Y&itm=1 It is rather terse, but since you have some experience with C, it might be best. >One more question, should I go for C or C++?

But I have no facts to back that up. :( Regardless, learning C is a step in learning C++. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
