Hey, so I was going through my room cleaning it and I found a game programming book.

The title is Beginning Game Programming: Second Edition by Jonathan S. Harbour and I was wondering if it's a good book to learn some C++ and C.

Here's a link to Amazon's Book:

Jonathan Harbour writes good resources on game programming, I have the third edition of that book and it's a fairly good resource. My only recommendation is don't run in thinking the book holds your hand, while it is meant for beginners is does assume you're comfortable with C++ and spends no time explaining anything other then simple Windows API and Directx.

You missed the point.

Programming it's learning a syntax or the nuances of a language. That's all a book can teach you. A programming **language.**

It can not teach you how to be a programmer.
