I need guidance

Ok guys I need serious help
I have done C++ on my own and now, after I failed to qualify in code jam(shameful>~<), I decide to start over again
So....can you tell me thugs like:
Which books to read(in beginner terms)
What to learn in what order
What is important for programming
And other such things you think that will help me be a good programmer
Thank you guys
I'll appreciate it
Failing a code jam isn't shameful. Most jams are 2 or 3 days long and most that join don't finish their entry.

Depending on your C++ knowledge, you may consider the list of books at the bottom of this page: http://isocpp.org/get-started

For game related topics, you may want to consider: http://www.gamedev.net

There really is no set path or order to learn things, you simply learn what you need and go.

Be a good problem solver and math is a good help.

Always ask questions!
