[Everything] Books!

[d&q]

I need good and not too expensive books regarding: C, C++, Java, & PHP.

The books I've picked out currently are:

C Programming : Visual QuickStart Guide (Visual Quickstart Guides)

C++ Programming : Visual QuickStart Guide (Visual Quickstart Guides)

PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide (Paperback)

Anyone recommend any more/different books? 

Edit: Updated

PHP and MySQL Visual Quickstart

I'm not sure what your experience is with programming, but the PHP book you've selected is intended for someone who's had a little bit of experience with PHP (up to managing pages with SQL queries... things like that).  I have that book somewhere...

I suggest not getting the PHP book, seriously if you have any questions you can always ask here.
php.net is an amazing reference.

C/C++ and PHP share the same concept of syntax so once you know how C/C++ works adapting to PHP should be easy (Hell I did it withought knowing C or C++)

Good luck.

I have looked at php.net documentation, and although its quite nice, I would greatly prefer a book  . I have the basics of both C/PHP down, meaning I understand the syntax, variables, operators, superglobals, etc.

That's probably all there is to know on PHP, anything else can be easily looked up. Whatever helps you out more though. Personally I run four windows while web developing: IE6, Firefox, Notepad2, and Firefox with PHP.net

I don't remember the prototypes/uses/alternatives to any function in PHP. Maybe slightly part of the name if I'm lucky.

For Java I use this book: "Java Examples: In a Nutshell" by David Flanagan.
It doesn't go indepth (because it's a nutshell book), so if you don't know what you are doing with Java try and stay away from this book for now.

"Java Methods"

I already knew nearly every single thing in that book, but it was decent nonetheless. Might be expensive though, it was a school textbook.

Personally I run four windows while web developing: IE6, Firefox, Notepad2, and Firefox with PHP.net

Exactly the same, except for I have php.net in a tab in the Firefox window.

Exactly the same, except for I have php.net in a tab in the Firefox window.

Exactly the same, except replace notepad2 with gedit and scratch IE.

Well I have them in a seperate section of my monitor so I can read them all at once. I use IE6 for compatability reasons with HTML.

I have C++ How to Program by Dietel and Dietel, which is considered to be a reallly good series. I can sell it to you.

The best .NET book I've ever read was "C# and the .NET Platform."  It gives a very thorough of object-oriented programming as well as an excellent overview of almost all of C#'s features.

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind! I don't want to learn C# right now though.

Hmm, I need to get this then. Need help in both C# AND OOP theory..great stuff
