Now if you had to pick a book or manual that would be the best for a beginner, not totally new, I can understand some code that has already been written, I just want to make my own.
It entirely depends on what type of applications you want to make. If you just want to make a small GUI to frontend a database application, for example, there'd be no sense in delving into Donald Knuth's The art of computer programming, for instance. If you want to learn Java I can recommend the Core Java series. If you're going to do scientific programming there's a couple of books in my shelf I could recommend, such as the abovementioned series by Knuth. If you're going to do linux system programming there are a number of resources on the net. But you'd be hard pressed to find just one or two books that talked about the lot. Anders
