    If you are talking about C++ I always recommend Thinking In C++. Because its good, and its available on the net for free.

    If you are talking about TorqueScript, or C++ in the TGE specifically, any of the Torque books are good.

    I've got all the torque books and they are all useful, personally I found that whilst Game Programmers Guide to Torque (GPGT) covers more of the scripting I got a lot more out of 3D Game programming All in One.... I also find now I know most of the things and use the books purely for reference I get frustrated by the GPGT as it's index isn't great.
