Why c++? Where to start?
I know there was many questions like this one, but please hold on one more.
All programming languages I know now are made for web purposes. I've been learning ActionScript, php and a bit of Javascript, AJAX, etc.. I've liked php very much but I'm still looking something I'll really love! That's why I want to try something new. Can You tell me what are positives and negatives of this language? Is there some big example of C++ usage? Is it a good language to start this journey (maybe You can recommend something else)?
Are there some good video tutorials which I can buy on CD/DVD? Could You recommend some books?
