Outdated programming book?

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I was not sure where to post this so I put it in programming talk. I have been wanting to learn C++ for a while now. I purchased a book a long time ago, at the least it was over 5 years ago. The book is SAMS Teach Yourself C++ in 24 hours Second Edition. Well long story short I ended up getting more into HTML/CSS and this book ended up collecting dust. Recently I have renewed interest in learning C++. My question is: will this book be too outdated to serve as a starting point into learning C++? Or should I buy a new book. I am hoping I can still use this book as I am on a budget bu (Hardware)

tr not replacing apostrophe 34 weeks 6 days ago

I want to convert all apostrophes in this file to X:

Bob's book Bob’s book Bob′s book # (Might look the same but actually different)

The first apostrophe is replaced as expected:

$ cat file | tr "'" "X" BobXs book Bob’s book Bob′s book

But the the two other kinds of apostrophe, strange things happen:

$ cat file | tr "’" "X" Bob's book BobXXXs book BobXX�s book

$ cat file | tr "′" "X" Bob'

Hi,

I'm really thinking about purchasing this book - Internetworking with TCP/IP, Vol. III: Client-Server Programming and Applications, Linux/POSIX sockets version by Douglas Comer - but I have a few concerns...

1. Its the third is a series and I haven't read the first two, will this make the book hard - impossible to understand?

Hi, I am looking for a good e-book that can teach me ASM 32 and 64 bit programming. Anyone know a great book?

I did find this book,

but I was wondering whether there's a newer book on the market, because this one was released in 2004. I'm sure a lot has changed in the past 7 years?

I need a book that helps me understand linux, instead of just giving me console recipes to reach certain goals.

I added my Gmail address book to evolution, but it gives my an error every time, even when choosing "use secure connection" in the address book options. The error is (I translated it on my own):

unable to open address book. This is because you entered a wrong URI or the server is unavailable at the moment.

The latter has an odd title since it exclusively deals with C. It should have been titled Beginning C Programming in Linux.

Hi there,

So im following 120 hours C# (dont ask why) course right now. Two times a week. After work. (Tech support with some elements of SysAdmining).

Now after a view month we are already like in a middle of the course.
