queries on software development

hi sir,
can u please suggest me some books on software development.i am very new to this so first ineed to clear my basics first,in that case please suggest me some books.its very urgent

Hi Priya..can you be a bit more specific?
What kind of software development,which programming language,which platform, embedded or non-embedded etc.

sir,
as u have asked the programming language is c++,databases are oracle,sql server,and it can be worked out on windows platform.it is not embedded.
thnx

well priya, if u want to start from the basics, learning c language first (structural programming) would be the best option. Later on u could learn the OOPS (object oriented programming) like C++/JAVA etc. As far as the RDBMS like Oracle is concerned i think u better choose between one of them (RDBMS or a programming language) as simultaneously studying both would be very confusing.

For C you can start off with "C Primer Plus" by Stephen Prata.Once you get through,you can finish off with K&R.
For C++ I'd recommend "C++ Primer Plus" by the same author.
