Note: These tutorials are not meant to replace books on C and C++. They are meant to enhance the reader's
understanding of the subject and to give clarification of possible stumbling points in the programming process.
Please accept them as such. If anyone has anything specific they want me to write about, please tell me so by sending
me an email. Thanks.



Speaking of books, below is a listing of books that I have used or am currently using to learn programming. Be warned, some of them are quite advanced and would be quite confusing were you to pick them up as your first book. I will later on add links to Amazon and the like, where you can buy them, as well as difficultly level so you can know where to start.
