Guys

Well its the only one that teaches me anything I think, yeah I am willing to print it out to. My dad said I can, just put it on draft mode. But why doesnt it let me print it man?

[Mitosis]

Hitman, whats your aim man?

[Hitmen]

I have no idea why it wouldn't let you print it, I don't have a printer installed on this computer so I can't test it.

In my eyes, and thats why I save so much on college books, is that books are to give knowlege. They are not for looking pretty. I suggest searching out books online and then checking www.campusi.com  They are a search engine that searches places like Amazon marketplace for used books. For C++ I'm reading C++: How to Program and a picture of the book for your reference can be found at :

If this book (which costs ~$120.00 but I got for roughly 75 of the above search engine) is too advanced, which is might be for a 13 year old (No offence, I was learning to program at 13 too ) then I highly suggest www.johnsmiley.com  Go to his site because his books are aim soley for beginners. I've read his Visual Basic 6 series and enjoyed it a lot. I havn't read his C++ or VB.net books but I'm sure they hold the same standards as his previous books did. They are cheap and inexpensive.

Also www.computerbooksdirect.com is where I went once, and might again to renew membership, to buy 3 books for literally 1.99 each. You just have to hold up your end by buying somwhere around 3 or 4 books during the course of the year, which at members price for 10.00 - 50.00 a book, isnt that bad at all.

I do suggest buying the books used because there's no point in spending an extra 100 bucks just to buy a prettier book that contains the same knowlege that the newer one costs.

Edit: If your aiming to learn Visual Basic, chose VB.net, don't learn 6. It's a waste to learn a previous version only to frustrate yourself with migrating to the new version. I recommend learning the language thats right for you, not listening to the bias opinions of others that are advocates for C++ and hate VB and vice versa.

"Draft mode" doesn't make sense here.  PDFs are rendered graphically, not as text.  I hope you have a laser printer V or better, because you'll be waiting a long time for a bubble jet to print that.

Are you being redundant or are they shitty quality books?

[Mitosis]

Draft mode just makes it so it doesnt use up so much ink. Hitman what is your aim? But the print button doesnt work.

[Hitmen]

I don't think you'd have any trouble printing it from a word doc, would you?

[Mitosis]

Tried that. Well whats your aim Hitmen.

P.s (its me Chaosoft from madz)

[Grok]

Do you think you could name your posts something other than 'Guys'?

[Mitosis]

Sure, no problem. Sorry.

Mitosis, I got the 'C++ for dummies' too and dropped it, I can get up to a certain point and my mind stops absorbing for some reason. If you re-read things over and over over a couple of weeks, you gradually get farther but really it takes a long time. Like I said in the above forum, getting a tutor to teach you a simple language until you can become self sufficient is probably your best choice if you can afford it and you are interested enough.

This made me laff.

Yeah, I am going to pay DarkVirus to teach me, then at Christmas when I have money I will actually buy GOOD books.
