So I checked out a few tutorials, and they made things easier, but they assumed I k new C. The only C I know is stuff like printf, scanf, getch. I decided to learn C++ before C, the majority of people suggested that. So, I'm looking for a good book to teach me how to program Windows (I first want to d o Windows stuff, then DOS stuff) applications in C++. If makes any difference, I already know Turbo Pascal 7, a small amount of Assembly, and Visual Basic. Some people mentioned those "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days" boo ks, are these good? Thanks. Ooops, one more thing, should I even bother to learn C?
