Software help

Postby ZiP » Tue Sep 28, 2004 3:17 pm

I was wondering if anybody could tell me of some good books I could get from the library or anything on basic software designing, or anything in that genreal area.

Thanks,

Hmm... I'm not sure I would run out and buy a C++ book if you are interested in leaning DESIGN. If you REALLY mean you want to learn to program, I'd start off with a different language, acutally. C++ is powerful, but difficult to learn. Start with perl, perhaps, or even pascal.

If you want to learn THEORY, then I can help you out even more. Practical C, as BM pointed out, is a very good, er, practical guide to languages. If you want more meat, then I would suggest one of the many textbooks on algorithms. I'm sure you can find one in your language of choice. Let us know if you want other ideas, too.
