http://www.amazon.com/Primer-5th-Edition-Stanley-Lippman/dp/0321714113

It has an entire glossary of definitions of all the programming terms and vocabulary you'll ever find, so if you have a specific question or you want to talk programming with other programmers you'll know what the fuck they're on about and it will let you search for even more resources because you'll know the proper programming terms for what you make.

StackOverflow should be used only when you have clear goal or well defined question to ask. Since the site is rating based you can have your account suspended(at least the question asking rights) if you get too many downvotes.

Also, many oldschool programmers who have decades of programming experience will recommend Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan's The C Programming language 3rd edition book.

cplusplus.com is a site I used a lot just to look up different keywords etc.  It's not super clear all the time, but I could usually work it out.

I learned through school, so most of the resources were slide shows and lectures the teacher put together.  We used the book "Starting out with C++" by Tony Gaddis.  It seemed pretty good, has a lot of challenges/quizzes at the end of each chapter to help you learn.

Stackoverflow.com is another great site for any programming language.  I'm not too advanced as I just did the first class, but I will be taking the advanced class next spring which I'm looking forward to.

I'm hoping to learn how to program in C/C++ in my spare time after work. I'm going through a book right now that's pretty helpful, but I was hoping some people here could point me towards some other good books or other resources that could help me along.

I'm still at the bare basics level right now, but I'm open to some more advanced resources for when I'm ready to check them out. Any general advice or programming tips would be great too. Thanks!
