I found the following three sites and newsgroups very useful and rest is previous siglinux stuff. Bjarne Stroustrup's Homepage, http://www.research.att.com/~bs/ The CGAL project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, easy to use, and efficient C++ software library of geometric data structures and algorithms. http://www.cs.uu.nl/CGAL/ How To Write Unmaintainable Code http://mindprod.com/unmain.html Newsgroups: alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ comp.lang.c++ comp.lang.c++.leda comp.lang.c++.moderated comp.std.c++ de.comp.lang.iso-c++ fj.lang.c++ Regards, Zahed ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 22:19:54 GMT Newsgroups: utexas.class.cs105.c++ Subject: I christen this newsgroup! Thought I'd post an amusing but highly educational URL http://mindprod.com/unmain.html Now, you too can learn how to write unmaintainable code!

Johnson, Erik W. Troan: Addison-Wesley, May 98 _UNIX Systems Programming for SVR4_ David A. Curry: O'Reilly, Aug 1996 I'm leaning heavily towards the first one, because the old 2nd edition was well-reviewed on Slashdot, and the newest addition should be very current (replace Tcl/Tk --> Perl). Do any of y'all have experience or comments about these books? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
