Learning C and C++

I need some recommendations for any books that are easy to learn C and/or C++. My goal is to teach myself the language on my own time this spring semester. Any advice would be appreciated.

Uh because it was the easiest way to ask programmers THAT KNOW WHAT C AND C++ IS! Its a simple question and shouldn't ruin your day although it appears that it may be doing so. This board is ridiculously pretentious. I can't get help with anything in this place without running into some kind of bullsh*t. It's a question, you know the answer, so help someone out. That is really hard for some of you. I dont know why, but I am glad im not that way.I can't help but give some unsolicited advice.
Maybe you're the one being pretentious, expecting answers to all your questions.
Beggars can't be choosers. I'm lucky as the next guy to not get some BS. Heck, I'm lucky if those who know their stuff bother to help me at all.
Assuming that developers would go out of their limb to help you make your semester more bearable would be unreasonable to put it mildly. It would be more correct to expect a certain level of help from your professor, who gets paid partly from the tuition fees you are paying.

    Hi I have a question about shooting in Raw with my Canon EOS 6d.
    I'm in the process of learning photography and my goal was to start shooting in raw.
    I have Photoshop CS5. When I tried to edit my images in raw I received an error message stating, "The photoshop camera raw plug-in did not recognize the format. If these files are from a camera, you may need to update your camera raw plug in."
    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6. My version of CS5 is 6.0.0.205. Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost. THANKS in advance!

    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6.
    That is correct. Your camera was first supported by Camera Raw 7.3. Camera Raw 7.3 will not work with CS5. You need CS6 or CC.
    Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost.
    It all depends on your preferred workflow and your budget.
    Using the DNG converter is free. There is no monthly fee. You use the converter to convert all Raw files from the EOS 6D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5. That's an extra step every time - every photo. Some people don't like the extra step. Others don't mind.
    Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
    Or you can upgrade to CS6 (non-Cloud) and pay the upgrade fee
    Creative Suite 6
    Or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
    Or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US9.99/month) and get PS CC+LR

  • Assigning learners to Learner Group and creation of Learner Group.

    Hi All,
    Are there any standard ways to create Learner Groups from R12.1.3. I have tried looking for Oracle standard APIs but did not find them. Is there any other way we can create Learner group from back end. I know to create them from Application but we have to create bulk number of Learner Groups. So wanted to do them from back end.
    Also we may need to assign large number of learners to learner group. Can you please explain the possible ways of doing these assignments.
    Any inputs are the most awaited.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek.

    Thanks Anders for your input. Please look into my below query also.
    We are in 12.1.3. I tested creating a learner group and adding learners to it (both by organization and learner assignment).
    When I try to assign a course to a Learner Group from the Application, I go to course and from "Bulk Enroll" window, I input the Learner Group to which I wanted to add the course and click on 'GO'. Now Application lists out the learners in the Learner Group. Learners in the Learner Group are not enrolled into courses unless I click the check box beside each learner and select 'Add'.
    Is this the standard way of enrolling a Learner Group to the course. I am just looking for a way where I can enroll all the learners in Learner Group to a course by selecting that particular Learner Group (rather than clicking the check box beside every learner).
    If I have to check against every learner to enroll them in a course, then I dont really get the point in creating Learner Groups. Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

  • I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
    Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
    If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well.

  • Learning Essbase and Planning - Buy or Rent a Server?

    Hi All,
    If I was planning on learning Essbase and Planning, would it be better to buy or rent a server? I renting is a better option, which companies would you recommend?
    I'm planning on installing some mail servers and issue tracking websites on the server as well.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nathan

    When you say renting, do you mean in the cloud or do you mean short term leasing and having the server on site (your office, your house, etc.)?
    I'm doing (almost) all of my 11.1.2 puttering about in Amazon Web Services using a prebuilt machine image from Full360.com. No, I do not work for either company. No, they do not pay me to mention their name.
    If you're planning on doing installs and infrastructure work, you likely don't want the Full360 AMI. When I do infrastructure, the resutls aren't pretty, so for me a prebuilt and tested AMI with the full 11.1.2 stack is worth the monthly cost.
    What I like about AWS (and I suppose any cloud offering) is that I only pay for what I use and I can scale CPU, memory, and drive space as needed. I won't deny that there's been a learning curve to it but for the most part it's not been bad. If I can just get someone to show me how to set up SSL so I can securely connect in, I'll be 100% happy.
    I thought a lot about buying a big desktop/workstation and then accessing that but I travel all the time -- I'd have to open up a hole in my home firewall, always have the desktop running, etc., and in the end thought that was too much hassle.
    Just my $0.02.
    Regards,
    Cameron Lackpour
    P.S. Shameless plug -- I'll be co-presenting this at Kaleidscope in Long Beach this year and will go into depth about how much pain/joy I've received from this approach.

  • How to learn  SQL and PL/SQL ?

    who can give me some useful advice about learning SQL and PL/SQL ?
    who can help me?
    thanks

    Hi,
    It's my opinion that you can pickup the PL/SQL language syntax /semantics from a book - but, to learn, you need to get real hands-on experience. You can get invloved in a Project that requires the use of PL/SQL & I am sure you can pick up the nuts & bolts from your experience.
    You can read articles written by the SQL & PL/SQL gurus like Tom Kyte, Steven Fuernstein & the numerous Oracle ACE's - you do learn atleast a thing or two from every article.
    If you have any specific questions about SQL & PL/SQL - you have come to the right place - you can post the questions here & the gurus will defenitely help you !
    All the best !

  • SAP BW - learning path and Estimated time line.

    Hi,
    I am working with Business Objects for few years. I am interested in learn SAP BW and start my career in SAP BW with Business Objects. I would appreciate if you could please let me know the learning path and approximate time line.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike:
    I see your concern.
    BO is primarily a front end tool and it is simple to learn. So new developers can pick it up easily and start delivering business needs quickly.
    In fact I believe front end tools these days are so user friendly that even Business Users can learn fast and adapt and get really good at it.
    I think learning and understanding the back end data warehousing tools with specialized skills in Data Modeling and ETL will be extra added value to employers in today's market. Plus Interpersonal skills and interfacing with business users is not a function that can be easily outsourced.
    If you already have expertise in Bus Intelligence, I would recommend staying in BI and learning the back end tools. Learning Other SAP modules should supplement your BI skills and not to replace your BI focus.
    BI as an Industry is still evolving and growing. Plenty of room to grow. BI can deliver business critical decision support.
    Knowledge of Business Intelligence functions (Functional knowledge) will come in especially handy for employers when designing back end (data modeling) and suggesting the right course of action for designing back end. Your existing front end knowledge will be a great help for data modeling recommendations.
    I am actually pursuing a second MS in ERP at http://dce.mst.edu/. I take classes on line since i live 100 miles from the university. I sometimes am busy at work and cannot attend live classes. So i listen to the recordings after work hours and do my assignments and tests and exams after hours as well.
    The best thing about being in school, is i switch to learning mode and set aside my past experience and become a student willing to learn from the professor and the other students.
    Link to SAP University Alliance -
    University Alliances Overview
    University Competence Centers in the America's - Univ Comp Centers in North America
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/uac
    I personally see a need in the Industry for highly engineered BI Solutions. Quiet a few SAP Clients today have experienced not so well engineered BI solutions from less skilled BI resources leading to poor performance and poor user adoption.
    Thats why i feel there is a great need for qualified BI resources to deliver optimal BI solutions and drive greater user adoption. The more users adopting SAP BI and BOBJ, the better opportunities for all of us.
    Concerning your comment about ABAP - I know minimal ABAP learned on the job as a BW developer / analyst. I tend to find solutions through data modeling as opposed to using ABAP. SAP BW has standardized many many common reporting functions and on occasions i write some ABAP lookups. But during the initial stages of my career as a BW Analyst i used to have the ABAP team write any code i needed.
    I even developed an ABAP report in ECC by providing the ABAP team with a detailed flow diagram of the logic. But lately i have learned to write some ABAP code myself. 
    Good Luck.

  • Learning PCR and Workflow

    Hello,
    I am basically a Webdynpro for Java guy and want to learn Workflow and PCR for MSS and want to know whether I need to learn ABAP first....if then what is the level I need to dig in ...and how should I start..?
    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    You need atleast a little ABAP knowledge to work on the workflows.
    To start -->
    1. Search in SDN Library. There are many good docs on PCRs.
    2. In SAP Insider there was a document submitted by Alan Rickayzen on PCRs. This will give brief overview on PCRs and its uses.
    3. Search this forums for posts on PCRs (especially the replies by Jocelyn Dart and Rajasekar).

  • Learning  Flash  AND swing

    hi.....do u think Flash > Applet AND VB.NET> Swing ?
    I have little knowledge on Applet AND Swing......but I think Flash and VB.Net has exceeded and captured the market of Applet and Swing . Now a days most sites are using Flash for interactivity and VB for interface. do u think learning Flash and VB.NET would be worthy ? or should i update my knowledge on Applet and Swing ? One more bad thing regarding swing is , the code becomes bulky to get a simple interface .
    i have one more doubt,......suppose i made a interface in VB.NET ( front end ) , can i run java code in back end ?
    plz let me know what should i emphasis ?
    thanks

    It all depends on your current situation. Are you employed in IT? If so, what technologies is your employer using now. What technologies do they see themselves using next year? In 5 years?
    What skills do you have now? Are you proficient in any technologies? Think about whether you want to be a jack-of-all-trades or very proficient in a smaller number of technologies. Are your current skills saleable to an employer? Should you improve your current skills or start learning new skills?
    Hey, for a forum answer, I've certainly typed a lot of question marks!

  • Difference between Learning Solution and Training in ESS

    Hi,
    I would like to know the functionality difference between Learning Solution and Training when will be using through ESS.
    I have found that Training is part of SAP's old version and java based application not available on ESS for Training. In Learning solution, we are getting java based application for all the activity. Functions like, Training Activities, Qualification Profile, Profile Match-up, Settings are available on Learning Solution but the same are not available on Training. Even Pre-booking is not available on ESS through Training.
    I would like get feedback from forum. Please who have experience on the same, do guide me. I would like to suggest the client for the same.
    Prompt response will be highly appreciated.
