Need Good Books.

[markode]

hello seniors,
i need a lot of great books, not on programming in specific computer languages, but on "programming concepts", "how it works?", "how it is created?", "Tips" etc.
things like that, i want to begin coding from the very beginning.
it would be very helpful if you guys suggest some good books.
thanks. :)

I believe Grey Wolf wrote an article some time ago with a couple of lists of good books on both C++ and more generic algorithms. If you think you might find something there that'll be helpful, here's the article: http://cplusplus.com/articles/GLzyhbRD/

Good luck!

It's not a book, but...

htpp://www.learncpp.com

It's very good.

If you find C++ difficult, you should try an easier language like Python. I wouldn't say C++ is the best language for beginners, but it's not so hard too.

Python is simpler though.

Both of these are excellent books for beginner and experienced developers, good organization for quick references as well.

Effective c++ 3rd edition.

There are a few books that I can think of that may come under that category, such as (in no particular order):
Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction
by Steve McConnell

Practical Development Environments
by Matthew B. Doar

The Pragmatic Programmer
by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas

The Object-Oriented Thought Process
by Matt Weisfeld

But if you are totally new to programming start with something like:
Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++
by Bjarne Stroustrup

Thanks guys, i think i should read "pragmatic programmer" first.
