Re: [Libreoffice] RTF support - C/C++ Materials

There is some good free material on C and on C++.

There are free "Thinking in C++" books and code available on the Internet.  
< http://mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html>.

In addition, there is a free "Thinking in C" Flash-based tutorial:

I don't know what platform you are on.  The gcc compilers should work for these.

If you are on Windows Vista or 7, the free Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition is also useful.  You can 
compile ANSI C with it as well as C++ command-line apps without having to deal with the Windows SDK 
or any of that toolcraft.

Actually it's C++. I think "the" C++ book is The C++ Programming
Language from Stroustrup.

I'm not sure if it's freely downloadable.
