Looking for downloadable C#/C++ book for offline use

[slayer20]

I'm looking for some sort of book that I can purchase/download (for free of course) that can be used offline.

Every other day at school, I have these very long breaks in between classes (one class is in the morning the other is in the evening so I have like 4 hours with nothing to do) and I would like to take that time to start (more like restart) learning C++ or C#.

So is there any books that can downloaded (for free) or purchased online that I can view offline?

this book is ok, but it starts from the bare basics
link doesnt seem to work so just go here and choose yellow book 2009

The basics would probably be best for me. I want to get into game design (which is one of the courses I'll be taking next semester in college) but I thought it would be best to start making simple programs first. Especially since I don't really know anything :v:

Wait, why the 2009 version and not 2010?

Is there a c++ version of the c# book posted earlier?
