Hello,

I have been working with visual basic now for the last 4 years or so. I have decided that it is now time for me to get to grips with C/C#/C++.

I have a copy of Borland C/C++ and visual C++.

Have any C Gurus got any suggestions as to good reading materials that I could get into?

Also, which is your favourite version of C?

I've read in someone's sig that;
With C its easy to shoot yourself in the foot. With C++ its harder to do that, but when you do you blow your whole leg off

I have a sketchy knowledge of java which we rushed through in class. Is java similar to C?

Thanks for your time

Regards
