This doesn't answer your C++ part of the question, but you should have the Kernighan & Ritchie "The C Programming Language" and then get something like "C A Reference Manual" (Latest edition is 5th I think) by Harbison and Steele. After that you might look at "C Programming FAQs" by Steve Summit. > > I first thought a book on C would be best, because the OS is written in C.
