resource for programming interactivly with my computer


Sorry I am not clear what you mean here?

Are you asking for an IDE or compiler through which you can write and compile your programs?
And rather than book that claim to teach in X days or hours use some good books.
One such book is:
Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel

Its e book is freely avaible on author's site.

+1 for Thinking in C++.
Your book is a badly abridged version of "C++ in 21 days" by the same author, which is a horrible book itself.
However, if you're prepared to spend more money, you probably should buy the C++ Primer instead of downloading Thinking in C++.
Hey Athar,
I guess there are two C++ primer, one by Stephen Prata and another by Lipman, which one do you recommend?
I definitely mean the latter one (by Lippman, Lajoie, Moo).

There is only one 'C++ Primer', Stephen Pratas book is 'C++ Primer Plus'. ;0)
