What if I want to learn how to make wheels? And what if I can't find a 
wheel that fits?

While those might be good for people who want rapid development, I am 
not sure they would apply in my case. I do think there is a set of 
Bison/Flex(or is it Flexx?) tools for CodeWarrior, but I have never used 
that kind of thing.

Actually, I don't have it. All the books I have are a couple standard 
"learn C++" books:
Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days(got this when I took C++ at school)
Programming with C++
Rescued by C++
C++ Primer Plus(this one is actually my favorite, I rarely use the 
others)
And a couple C and Java books, and one Pascal book(also from a class I 
took at school).

I don't have any books on algorithms or programming theory. I don't have 
much money to buy them either... :-(
