them and then i plan to get the book "Beginning C++ >Game Programming" ....

I wouldn't get that book if you want game programming advice. It's basically a C++ primer and uses the standard examples that you find in all C++ beginners books. However it says "You can use this in game programming" after every example. Which is of course true, but it's only a cheap excuse to put "game programming" in the title.

An example would be that it shows you how to use arrays and then says "You can use arrays to store aliens or spaceships in your game." Well, yes, and if that's the level of game programming knowledge you need that's fine. But don't buy this book expecting to learn anything about game programming per se. It's only a basic primer for C++.
