I was wondering if any of you who have learnt to code, C++ or Python: have any recommended books that help you learn, eg used them in  a uni course etc.

 

cheers.

Here's a great book list for C++

 

For Python you can try Learn Python the Hard Way or Automate the Boring Stuff with Python.

Thanks for the recommendations guys, need to start learning the basics and hopefully the more advanced stuff so I can do my final year project on drone control

This is a pretty great resource on C, which should be helpful for C++

http://www.amazon.com/Primer-5th-Edition-Stanley-Lippman/dp/0321714113 <-- Great for beginners. Then combine it with the following to master core C++

http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Modern-Specific-Ways-Improve/dp/1491903996/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1433372929&sr=8-3&keywords=C%2B%2B

http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Professional-Made-Easy-Language/dp/1508429081/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1433372929&sr=8-2&keywords=C%2B%2B&pebp=1433372938464&perid=0NX8H1VP205M04QV5BKR

 

And then of course get a copy of "Cracking the Coding Interview" for data structures and algorithms tips.
