What source would you suggest for learning more about pointers? I've got "Object Oriented Programming in Visual C++", and "How to Program C++" from Deitel & Deitel (sp?). The former doesn't do anything for me. So far, the latter seems really good, so far. But I like to learn from as many sources as possible so that I can look at things from several different viewpoints and possibly grasp them more easily. So any other suggestions for reading material would be very helpfull. Thanks
