title: Learning C++ from AS3
body: <p>I'm a decent AS3 programmer. I work in games, and that is my reason for programming. While there is much I can accomplish with Adobe AIR, my understanding at this point is that learning C++ is probably a good direction to take. I would learn a lot of valuable lower level programming if I needed it down the road, and I would have an easier time learning other C oriented languages. I see a lot of information for people looking to learn AS3 who know C++, but not the other way around.</p>
  
  <p>Why C++? Cross platform compatibility is important to me, so I'm not particularly interested in C# or Objective-C at this junction. I'm also aware of Haxe, and while I love the concept, after doing some research I'm worried about investing a lot of time into something so recent with limited learning resources and documentation.</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for advice and resources (books, articles) related to this topic. Thanks in advance!</p>
