    Arrow need ur opinion about home study

    hi, im studying civil engineering in univercity , while im learning programming in home (self-teaching) the problem that the general average rank of the programming study in egypt is not good enough to depend on, so that im trying to make a home semister or something like that to improve my abilities in programming through the summer .
    here is some of the things i ve already done :
    im already experienced with VB programming
    i began to learn C/C++ since 6 monthes
    i ve just finished reading "Teach yourself C++" which gave me the real taste of the C++

    now im intending to go for these books and topics , and im looking for your opinins and suggestions about these books and topics , and if i missed something i should learn first pls notify me

    • effective c++
    • algorithms and data strucure in c++
    • programming windos fifth edition "Pzold"
    • special edition using visual c++


    I spent time to gather these books which seems to me its what I need for now...........
    pls response as im sure ur opinion and ur advice ll be very important for me and for others like me

    thanks in advance
    Programming is a high logical enjoyable art for both programer and user !!

    agreed,

    "Algorithms" and "Petzold" should give you the best info.

    No, it's not correct. Sure your Effective C++ is a good book and everything and the Petzold book is the best Win32 book, however what a waste.

    TK, you're obviously very opinionated. that's cool but don't discourage the guy from learning it. I think we should all learn linux coding too. I wouldn't call either a waste.

    Step outside the books and write your own code/programs as much as possible. Unless you have a photographic memory and are superhuman in your ability to translate theory into reality, I can gaurantee you that writing code is the best teacher. Reading about coding/syntax/program flow/etc. is good, because you need to know where to go find the answers when a problem arises; but writing code is where you really "learn" how to do it.

    The selection is not logical. I could explain if you want, but I am working for the next few days. Quite busy.

    I'm calling it a waste because his learning is finished almost as soon as it began. I'm open minded, not opinionated. I'm also Opra Winfrey when I put on a wig and a dress. And when I wear jeans than I'm Mel Gibson.
