What do you think is the best way to learn the programming language C and/or C++?

Total practice. Take a course (if possible), and build practice applications. Do flatfile database stuff (pretty intense to make it efficient in C), with large databases. Build games. Build things to play with text files and strings. Do recursive math functions (try making square waves from sine waves; that's fun. Graph it when you're done.)

If you want to learn about C and algorithms - try "Algorithms in C" one of the few text books with really good source code.





Bruce Eckel wrote a great book about C++ "Thinking in C++"

The rest is just practice, practice, practice (I started programming in C when I was twelve ... on an PC XT with a 8088 processor at 8 MHz)
Reply:Just start programming on the platform you wish Unix recommended
Reply:Studying from a good tutorial and making exercises.
Reply:Choose something practical to implement yourself (think of something yourself or have someone give you something to try an do).





Write a C program that will generate 100-1000 random numbers and write them to a text file.


Read the file back in, sort the numbers ascending or descending, and write them back to the same file.
Reply:Chances are there is a local technical college near you. These places are incredible resources for technical learning. You don't have to go through any kind of admissions process - just sign up for the class. Classes are also incredible values for the money.





Good luck.
