For an experienced programmer you can't go far wrong with the classic text by Kernighan & Ritchie. Its a great tutor of the C language and style. Unfortunately its a tad light as a reference on the standard library functions. For that I'd recommend something like "C The complete Reference" by Schildt. C++ is really a completely different animal with very different idioms even though the language syntax is more or less a superset of C. For that I like the "C++ Primer" by Lippman and "Effective C++" by Myers. Both are in multiple editions so be sure to look for the most recent versions. (OTOH the slightly older version go for pennies on Amazon Marketplace and aren't exactly irrelevant they just don't explain all of the latest features.). Caveat: I learned C/C++ a long time ago and have over 30 years experience whereas my Javascript skills are much more limited and I'm still a basic intermediate level. But I've not seen anything in JS so far to change my recommendations. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
