If you have a copy of access it's pretty easy to get started with building simple forms based applications that way and since it's built on a database it's easy to put your vocab lists into tables for easy maintenance.   I actually built one for myself that not only displays the text but if you don't get the answer right away plays the sound/word/phrase and finally gives you the answer for hiragana then it also has a picture quiz for reviewing words/phrases that can be represented with images.    It's in Access 2000 format and has enough data to demonstrate how it's entered but not a whole lot.

Learn PHP and store the data in arrays or tables. It's easier than trying to use Access, you can easily build an html display, and if you use MySQL for the tables, you can even make an editing interface to add, modify, or remove entries.

What books would be good to learn C++ for a beginner?
Might as well make a list of books from beginner to advanced.

I allready checked out http://www.cprogramming.com/books.html
Reason iam asking you guys is that youre not biased becouse you sell books.

If you are just starting off the C++ Primer Plus 5th Edition is an excellent book for beginners, but it only covers programming in a console window.

Out of the books in the link you provided I have read the Effective C++ and More Effective C++.  They are both great books for better programming practices, but they are more for those who already know what they are doing.  The C++ Programming Language is probably a good book because Bjarne wrote it, but I don't know what level it is on.

*looks through collection for more books*

Well after looking through all of my books that I could find I surprisingly didn't find any that teaches an Object-Oriented Programming mindset.  However I did find Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software written by the Gang of Four.  It is an excellent book describing many design patterns commonly used in programming.  There is also Head First Design Patterns which is a bit more user friendly than the book by the Gang of Four.

Beyond those you will probably want to find a Object-Oriented Programming book so you can know how to properly program in c++ and a book on windows/Linux/OSX programing (depending on which os you are using) so you know how to set up and use a window instead of a text only console window (or you can just search the internet).

You think it's easier to have someone become a server/database adminstrator before they start with any programming?

It's a lot easier for a novice to learn some basics in access than to force them to setup and administer a LAMP (or equivalent) server before they even get to the programming part of it. Vbasic can get people into OOP without them even realizing it then you can explain how the things they've been doing in access translate to full scratch-built applications.
