C++
I'm interested in learning C++, could anyone suggest some any books or sites to me?

The book I learned the basics from isn't bad...Deitel and Deitel's Object Oriented Programming in the UML, as I recall, is the title.

Yes, you can't have everybody...contributing to the main source repository.  That would be stupid and create chaos.

Opensource projects...would be dumb.

Websites off the top of my head...
http://www.cprogramming.com
http://www.cpp-home.com
http://www.cplusplus.com

Books... I wouldn't recommend "The C++ Programming Language" as a first book. Look here: http://www.accu.org/bookreviews/public/reviews/0sb/beginner_s_c__.htm#recbook

lol, I have that book.  It's sooo long and you'll want to stop reading it once you get done with the history of cpp section(like me).  hehehe if you're not a big reader then I wouldn't really recommend this book.  It's great for reference, but too detailed for my liking.  I got started with a book called teach yourself c++ in 24 hours by liberty.  It's a lot shorter and it covers a lot about standard c++.

I've recommended Sam's Publishing "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days" to a dozen people, and each has been happy with the book.  It's an excellent kick-start.

I like this book...I've chewed through pretty much the whole thing since I've had it, and it's an excellent reference on standard library stuff. Pity you didn't like all the detail...

I had already read more then 9 chapters out of the sams book when I had the chance to read deteil & deteil.  I have no question that this a great book to learn c++ with, but it just wasn't for me.

Well.
I went to Barnes and Noble, only books i could find there was C++ How To Program Fourth Edition By H.M Deitel and P.J Deitel. I hope am on the right track. :)

Your Barnes & Noble must really suck.  Mine has about 8 isles of computer books, about 6 racks per idle, 4 shelves per rack, and 18-20 books per shelf.  Of those, at least 3 racks are nothing but C/C++.

Haha, and the largest bookstore around here has a single isle of programming books. I usually just order off of amazon, they have free shipping deals from time to time, plus in most cases it's cheaper.

Borders has many computer books. (About 8 shelves)

And Sams Teach your-self C++ owns. :)

(Eth! Borders! Gogo you lazy bastard!)

eeew, you counted? :P

My local book store has a decent sized wall covered in computer books :-)

I find it best to learn from example, though.. www.planet-source-code.com was good for that, if it's still around.
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:
