hey Ive been thinking of learning C++ for learning C++ for game programming and I cant judge which book to pick, C++ primer or Beginning C++ game programming? Ive already learned python and have a little programming experience..
well I know C++ primer plus is the best, but its too big cant I just go along with the later one? any tip would be helpful :D
 
I'd just start with a normal C++ book, no gaming yet. Learning the basics first (working in the command prompt for a while) will help you a lot in the future.

I would recommend Sams teach yourself C++ in 21 days. If you really like programming and can get through that book in a month lets say then I'd say get a programming book next. You wont regret it.

Also, if you are a student at a college sign up for the website Dreamspark and you can get Professional Visual Studio 2010 for free. (This is the program you will work in when programming/ there are much simpler ones but if your gonna do this, why not go all out??)
