Hey there, I know this has probably been asked before alot, but I did a search and didn't come out with anything I wanted. Well, a little history about me. I'm in high school, junior year, and for about the last 2 years I've been mostly focused primarly on the hardware end of PCs, having little concern about software. Well, I just changed my mind, and I'm going to go software based, and try to learn C++ for starters. I already signed up for a C++ class, but that doesn't start until Aug. of this year, so I wanted to get some basics in before the class starts. Any books you guys might recommend reading? I would rather have an easy to read book, sort of for begginners, however I don't want it to skip anything if possible. I know some HTML, that's basically my background in programmming. Thanks for any tips, also, what else should I look into? I already purchased Linux RedHat Personal Ed. from newegg, so I can learn my way around that, any suggestions? Again, thanks!
