I don't know if I need to buy a new book on C++ or not. Would a book from the year 2000 be just as good as a book from the year 2006?

C++ has changed since the first early versions. C for the most part hasn't. Since 2000, C++ has not changed that much. It's pretty standard now. C++ was written as an afterthought on top of C. Most compilers don't force you to use all of the Object Oriented peices of the language. If you're just starting out programming, however, you might want to look into VB.NET, which includes C#, a much more robust Object Oriented language. It also includes VB.NET which is an ObjectOriented version of Visual Basic. At any rate, a 2000 version of a C++ book should suffice. Most of the ones I currently use are from sometime around then...

C++ has not really changed from when K&R wrote the book. The difference would be where are you going to use C++. There are many toolkits (built in C++) that people might expect you to know and use. Also, things like patterns may or may not be applicable.

yes, but I think you don't need to buy.
C++ is similar to C language.
You may want free C lessons by email from me.
