then i would be one of the most generous billonaires the world has ever seen - well at least to my friends - i think it would be sweet to have alot of money and just go to my closet friends house and drive up in a Viper or a Hummer and give them the keys and 20,000 to help with insurance - just imagine the look on someone\'s face - that to me is priceless
yea but alas it is only a dream...for now - hehehehe
http://www.gamedev.net--if you are just interested in getting into game development.
Books:
"Programming Windows fifth Edition by Charles Petzold"
"C++ for Dummies"--yes these do come in hand. Despite the name of the books (which I detest) they will teach you the basics fairly quickly if you follow the examples and exercises.
"C in 24 hours by Sams Publishing"-- It is a decent book, that will teach you a few things.
Those are some starter books. There is alot more and better books out there and quite abit of information on the good ole \'net.
