Programmers Hate Books

I'm excited to continue reading about object oriented programming in the second book of C++ For Dummies. There hasn't been much activity here for a while since I've been busy with school and the fears of life, but I think I'm back now and can dedicate at least an hour of my day to C++. Some programmers really hate books. Well, programmers don't really hate books, but I think the consensus among programmers about books is pretty bad right now. I can understand where they are coming from. I hate finding mistakes in the source code in a book for learning how to program. I'd expect an English grammar mistake from a book written by a programmer but not a C++ grammar mistake! Another detail I don't like about C++ For Dummies is when I'm reading a bunch of nonsense that's supposed to make the book entertaining when all I want to do is learn how to program! Before I bought C++ for Dummies, I should have asked for recommendations from people who are already in the video game programming business. I found a lot of helpful, experienced programmers at Gamedev. Anyhow, I'm interested in some of the books recommended by the blog author of Coding Horror
