  1. Programming in C++ on Linux by __aaclcg7560 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Does anyone know of a good book on C++ programming in Linux?

    I'm taking a C++ class at the local college that's being taught by the Unix guru. The class is using Visual Studio .NET as the IDE (which the instructor is not familar with and is threatening to go to Linux instead). At home, I'm using Visual C++ 6.0 Learning Edition that was provided by the Deitel and Deitel book. Tried using Visual C++ Express edition but it seems more trouble to use (e.g., there's no automatic prompt to prevent the DOS box from disappearing).

    Anyway, I tried compling the sample programs under gcc and g++ on my Linux file server, and I get a lot of errors. I thought C++ (or at least, C) was supposed to portable. ;) I would like to learn how to program basic C++ fluently on both platforms.
