Game Programmer

[Miracle00]

Hey everyone I want to learn some game programming, so far I am learning C++ and C#. I just wanted to know if there are any other languages I should learn and if anyone could recommend any good books for any of the languages thanks in advance.

If you plan on working in a big studio, C++ is pretty much all you need, in terms of languages.  C# is nicer to use, and is more widely used by individual developers, but one important thing to note is that it only works on Microsoft platforms (Windows and XBOX).

Ohh ok thanks do you have any books that you can recommend for me to buy or any where I can learn C++, I've got a couple of tutorials that aren't that good, they assume you know C. I Have little to no programming knowledge. Thanks

O'Reilly books are good. You should also try a few tutorials online. If you have no experience in programming, I would suggest you learn C first. C++ is basically an enhancement on C.

ohh ok thanks I found more stuff for C++ and my dad who is an IT consultant recommended to learn C++ not C, but you know I'll see what I can find thanks for the advice

As winkio said, C++ is the way to go. But it will be easier if you learn some C first.

ohh ok do you have any where I can learn it please :S. Thanks

I think there's a book from O'Reilly for that as well. And you can always look up tutorials online, just like for C++.
