Online tutorials are your friend. That's how I learned (and why there are a few noticable holes in my style and knowledge). Try www.about.com and www.programmersheaven.com -- esp. the C++ message board there -- but only if you get stuck. Learn more by solving it yourself. There's a nice reference at...

Well, if you can't think of how to program something, think of how you would do it. For example, I thought of that by going, "Hmm.. I'd probably look at the top row and if there was an X then I'd go down... and if there were 3 then there would be a winner..." So I programmed it so it goes ...

A lot of the newer cards are video-capture. And yes, it lets you record stuff onto your computer. Buy a big hard drive.

Java is extremely slow and pathetic, and as for it being higher-level than C, it was made from C. And try to learn assembly -- C++ compilers optimize the code in assembly probably better than you could write it in assembly yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Plus_Plus_programming_language#Histo...
