A Serious beginner

[princesolo]

I am a beginner with serious zeal to learn C++ and JAVA but I don't know where to begin or what materials to start reading. Someone please come to my rescue.

Here is some Java tutorials: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
Here is a good C++ book: http://www.amazon.com/Primer-Plus-5th-Stephen-Prata/dp/0672326973/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1230631272&sr=1-1

[Corpus]

There are also heaps of free online material for C++ - poke around this website for instance...

You are not alone friend. My self, I don't like to just copy and paste into dev-c++. Ultimately I want to write code intuitively with a real feel of rich understanding .So here's my strategy for cultivating programming knowledge. Start by defining Abstraction, then data abstraction with control abstraction, onto data structures and abstract data types. This seems to have covered alot of groundwork for me at least.

Abstract Data Types form a conceptual structure and a programming principle

maybe these sites will help

I suggest this website, I have learned more from it then any other. JAVA, I think is pretty much the same thing? Expect a couple of things haha

Java borrowed some many issues from c and c++ but not all,e.g pointers.It is true that if you know some c++/java you can learn the one quite easy.
