he was asleep in class because they forced him to conform to the evil 24 hour clock...
also, X11, that book, C++ for dummies, i saw that in the bookshop last month, but did not buy it because the CD that came with it was windows only. is this the same book? is it windows only? also, i think the same went for the idiot's guide to C++. How the fuck can they have fucking windows books for a unix programming language? that's the bollocks of being portable! you get walked all over.
Can anybody recommend a widespread starter book of this type for me that will ignore windows and concentrate on unix? what about one of the 'Sam's learn *** in 24 hours' books? do you think?
