Here is the book, Darren:
Amazon.com: C++ Without Fear: A Beginner's Guide That Makes You Feel Smart…
I just started on Chp7 which is String Arrays. I got this book for two reasons. One it was cheap! Second, it seemed to have some good user reviews overall (although those should be taken with a grain of salt).
I appreciate your help. I'll check out the book thread. Although I don't want a reference book. I want a book that actually teaches... O'reillys are a good example of references which are horrible books to learn from.
