When it comes to oop c++ must definitely be under your belt. Search all over the net and you quickly see that every programmer will know something about c++ .

Its applications varies from video games to complicated network apps .More proofs here .

And the book i would definitely suggest for a total beginner is either c++ programming of deitel and deitel(Java of deitel mentioned above is also an excellent start) or [URL=“http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005J6JYL6/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=1278548962&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0619159073&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1CJ4JTS4459A3D0998MK”]C++ PROGRAMMING: FROM PROBLEM ANALYSIS TO PROGRAM DESIGN of malik.

Why these books? because they are unique . You decide how far you want to reach in knowledge . The transition to misc concepts is really smooth and every chapter has a lot of exercices and almost real life problems that you will be searching for in others books and wont find . Finally if you decide you want to dive deeper you wond need to buy another book since these cover up to really “heavy” concepts of oop (polymorphsim ,error handling , templates in c++ etc.) and other stuff like list sorting and searching etc.

Make a good start !
Have fun :wink: :slight_smile:

Must admit that never bothered with C++ as C covered what I needed to do and it is not relevant to web design and programming. Looks as if it requires a more careful examination just as background.
I do recommend the Sitepoint book php Master write cutting edge code. The first chapter covers OOP concepts quite well and is enough to ‘get going’ with.

I learned by reading PHP Object-Oriented Solutions by David Powers (and of course by practicing).
