What are some good books for a begginer in C and C++? I basicly have no experiance. My brother has a book on C++ but its waaaay too complicated lol.

And what are some good fee compilers? I think my brother might have one but theres no way he'll let me use it.
 
Use the internet man, books aren't really that great. Start off with tutorials to see if you even like the language. Do you know PHP? The syntax is very much alike which would make it much easier for you to learn. Free compilers, hmm I would say use borland unless your system can't handle it. It is a bit RAM consuming...but if it's the system in your signature it should run fine, if not use this link.

Its the system in the sig.

I want to eventualy learn C++ so I can make some simple game mods.

Why learn C before C++? I have only learned C++, never bothered with C.

As for books, in all seriusness, "C++ for dumbies"

It comes with a free compiler also.

When you first learn C, it makes it much easier to move onto C++, C is simpler and cannot do as much but becomes the basis of C++.

C is very yucky. C++ is much nicer to work with. you still use C like strings in C++.

How is C yucky? .. Ever take a look at a MFC application? ..talk about yucky!

I think C is very clean and straight forward. It is actually a very good FIRST language to learn. Once you grasp the concepts of Imperative programming you can then move on to object-oriented programming (like C++) much more easily. But, everyone learns differently....
