I'm gunna go pick up C++ in 21 days, also. This got a good rating on amazon and I liked what it said in the preview. It will be a good suppliment to my current C++ for Dummies book.

Good luck on your studying, and keep it up!

You can use VC++ 6 without any problems, I seriously doubt you'll encounter errors due to the compiler. I'm a computer engineering student and I've written C++ programs with 10,000+ lines of code in MS VC++ 6, never had any serious complaints.

Nothing beats VC++ on Windows. I believe most of the so called "non-standard" compliance issues with VC++ are with Templates. Since you are just a beginner, I really doubt that would concern you.

The problem generally isn't in writing code with VC++. You'll follow their documentation, and everything will work like a breeze. Just wait until you want/need to use another compiler for your little 10K proggie. Or want to incorporatea big chunk of code developed somewhere else on another compiler.

So far, so good. The dummies book tried to explain bitwise ops and stuff like that to me, VERY confusing. I later read chapter 4 in the Sam's book and it cleared it all up

Just finished chapter 6, which was all about object-oriented programming. I still have a little trouble with functions, but I'm almost 1/3rd done! I haven't touched the dummies book in 2 days...

Are there any book suggestions for people who truly don't understand the easiest concepts behing programming?

Get a class. Seriously, nothing beats having someone who can explain things for you and answer questions. Books can only convey so much.
