September 15th, 2002:
Some Linux specific links now available, plus some more general, Microsoft specific and learning links provided.
August 4th, 2002:
Many more links added, so the beginning developer has more options. The links are in no specific order of preference - I suggest reviewing at least a few before settling into one. I've tried to keep them in some semblance of alphabetical order, but my QuickSort had the day off and my Shell-Metzner needs some debugging...
May 8th, 2002:
Updated to include links specifically for Visual C++, and straight C++ for novices to gurus. Updates expected on this page monthly, or as needed.
C++
C++ is one of the more powerful languages available, and is often my 'weapon of choice' because of size, and speed. However software development is a bit slower than a Visual Basic project, but I consider the tradeoff worthwhile if the application is supposed to last for a long period of time.
Beginner's Resources
One of the things that I find asked most on the CramSession boards is "where can I find starting information on C++?". Well, this section has a few links listed, so that folks can start learning C++ quickly. They are in alphabetical order. If you find a broken link, please report it!
