Where is the best place to learn ActionScript 3.0 and C++? Does anyone know any free websites or books? I need to learn C++ for school next year and i would like to independently learn ActionScript 3.0.

If you are learning C++ for school, won't they teach you?

But in my opinion, two great places to start with ActionScript are Flash Game Tuts (by Mr. Sun Studios) and How to make an avoider game in AS3(by Michael James Williams)

Why no Java? C++ you need a single server, while Java is platform independent.

ok, all I know is that c++ is similar to c, but OOP. I'm learning c at the moment and I've had a look at c++ and they're easier than I thought (the basics I guess). I think the best think in this case is a good book on c++(I'm getting something about practical c programming, I can't find a good use for it).

So, get a Book!

What many said. I'm using a book to learn Perl and they're far better than any online documentation. The official documentation is far better than any other user-created documentation on the internet half the time, but books manage to keep it easy (i.e not too much technical stuff, like in official documentation) and go more in-depth than anything you'll find on the net. It's a bit more expensive but it's worth it.

Wikibooks is a good source of tutorials for many different programming languages. Just type "c++" or "actionscript" into the search box and it will take you right to the lessons. Unfortunately the Actionscript tutorials seem mainly focused on AS 2 with some references to AS 3

You do realize that C is the first version of C++, so why would you learn C?
I'm using a book to learn Perl

I have tried Python and Perl (they are basically the same, but if work in a group, more people know python)

You need books to learn and online documents to reinforce your learning

C is procedural and I want to know at least one procedural language! Then I'll go on to C++.

I'm going to try python some time seeing as many people know and advise me to do so.
