Hi. I have used FreeBSD for about 6-7 weeks now (great system; I have to admit that I like UNIX much more than Windows) and now that I got a little better with the system in general I wanted to start to program for it, so that I will hopefully be able to help. But as I read through some code I noticed that my C/C++ needs some refreshment and improvement (especially OOP) first. (I haven't really programmed for a year or so, because I first started to study Physics, before I realized that Computer Science (or "Informatik" here in Germany) is what interests me much more. Before that I have programmed a lot for Windows.) The books I have looked at are: C How To Program C++ How To Program (both from Prentice Hall/Deitel) and: C Programming Language (K&R) C++ Programming Language (Stroustrup) The two from Deitel look very good to me (I like the summary and exercises at the end of each chapter and I like the whole layout). The last two also seemed to be very good, but I believe they are more useful as a reference than for learning?! Maybe someone has them on his/her bookshelf and can give a comment? Oh, and sorry for being off-topic, but these mailinglists have rapidily become my only connection to the outside world :) P.S. I have just seen in the handbook that there is a book "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Unix Operating System". Is it useful in connection with the "Developers Handbook" to understand kernel internals? (Hey, I am at least not absolutly off-topic now :) Cheers, Frank To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
