I searched but couldn't find anything about this. So I decided to create a thread for general programming discussion/advice.
I have a bit of a problem (a rather big one actually). I'm working on my masters degree in Economics and Finance which of course is great. The thing is, that to get a job in this business most places have started asking for competences in C++ or something equivalent. So I have decided to learn C++ programming. I only have limited experience with VBA which I'm also working on getting better at. My question is this: What litterature should I read and which sites around the internet are useful for this. I of course googled in and found a ton of sites, but not a lot that can help me since it's way to complicated for me to understand at this point. I have decided to start at the lowest possible starting point, ie. "C++ Programming for Dummies" and to work my way up from there. I would really like some input about what other books to get or sites to use. Thanks in advance!
