Hi Jai, > Guys,
Don't forget the gals/dolls !!. > Where is the best place to start with C/C++ development from a Linux > (or GTK) perspective? Note that I haven't differentiated between C and > C++.

Where as C++ has cppreference.com (which I've > been informed is quite out-of-date). I wouldn't recommend K&R - it's not a book for beginners. My K&R is well thumbed but was difficult to follow when I was starting out. I bought C The Complete Reference by Herbert Schildt (McGraw Hill I Think) but don't know if it is still in print (We're talking 1986 or thereabouts). If I was starting out today I'd go for Practical C++ programming by Steve Qualline (O'Reilly) (Excellent book and very readable and a good tutorial reference) and C++ The Core Reference by Gregory Satir & Doug Brown - again published by O'Reilly. By all means by K&R but don't make it your first book. > Regardless of which of the two languages I use, I will probably be in > need of some tutorials (please, Linux or GTK based as oppose to a > Windows users' one).

Don't know about tutorials - though I would go with GTK+ <http://www.gtk.org>. I found this better documented than GTK, YMMV.
