Metallica fan? considering your username?

Epiphone SG for heavy stuff and a modified Fender Strat Squier for clean tones. I use a Digitech RP-500 for effects, and I use a 30 watt Line6 Spider 3 as my amp.

I would recommend Bjarne Stroustrup's definitive C++ book. He is the creator of the language. However, the book is not too beginner-friendly, so you may want to get familiar with some basic concepts online before reading the book.
