I read a C/C++? book this summer, it was aimed at someone who was new to programming in general, so I got bored fast. I'm going to have to find a better reference, maybe for next summer.

lol I don't read the books. I just open up the tutorials and play around with them until I know what I'm doing.

try C How To Program, by Deitel. It's old, but it's fun and you there's a project where you can make an interpreter in it.

Use MS Visual C# (or Visual C++) express B) you'll get a more modern and powerfull IDE. MSDN library is a great place to get help and tutorials.

Cool, I loved Borland C++, back in the day it was better than Microsofts DOS compilers. Sadly though after about version 5, they just let themselves go, they tried to bring it back with C++ Builder, but I think it was too little too late. Which Version did you get?

Yeah I love the old Borland products. I still use the version of Delphi when it was made by them. Before they sold to Embarcadero which went to town on the name and tried to make .NET/Mono knock-offs using the Delphi name.

I'm guessing somewhere between 3.0 and 4.5.

It sucks getting only software on floppies to have it not work. I have 5/6 of the Win3.0 disks, all work, but I'm missing that one. Vetusware saves the day though, I just use win3.1 from there.
