Hi,
I recently started using Linux and have come to find that it suits me better than Windows.
I am a newbie in C/C++ programming and my questions are
Should i just stick to Windows??
Thought i would find unbiased information from this forum
Thank You in advance.
You should be able to learn C and C++ from *nix without any problems -- the language itself is platform independent. You run into cross-platform problems when you start writing programs that call platform-specific functions, such as GUI and hardware. But for learning the language *nix is a good as any other. I suppose it can be a little frustrating when you are just starting to learn what is and is not platform dependent functions.
As for books -- there is an entire thread at the beginning of this c++ forum devoted to that subject.

I am a newbie in C/C++ programming and my questions are
- How suitable is Linux for learning C/C++ programming as most of the books i have come across are based on windows. What are the pros and cons.
- I would like to be pointed to where i could/should get advanced C/C++ books
Should i just stick to Windows??

That's Very good start Madawar , I personally learnt C on Linux only and am still learning...There should be no problem in that..
Secondly . On a linux platform you will learn more as you have do all work on your own and It doesn't hold your hand like windows....So...Keep learning....great start ...Keep it up
Thanks for answering tutorials links have been a lifesaver...
