I have programmed in C#, VB.NET, and C++.

I have basic understanding of programming but concepts I do not.

I need to basic book that explains static voids, publics and all the basic stuff.

Any ideas?

You apparently have not done much class programming dealing with inheritance.

Pick up any advanced C++ book

It doesn't even have to be so advanced. C++ for dummies worked pretty well for me, give that a shot.

I recommend "C++ How To Program" by Deitel & Deitel. It was a very well written and easy to use book that explained all of the concepts very well.

Also, a data structures book might not be a bad idea either.

I would pick up a book on object-oriented design concepts (do a search on Amazon and read some reviews, I don't have a recommendation off the top of my head). I agree with drebo too in that a data structures book might be helpful too after you've gotten some OOP concepts down.

After you have basic OOP down, check out books on design patterns - it helps you understand OOP better (and of course, code better)

i had this book. its text is really good, however, IMHO, its layout (not talking about the ants) is pretty bad, making it a bit difficult to read....
