The only beginners' book I've seen that specifically addressed DJGPP
was Steve Heller's "Who's Afraid of C++?"  Actually, two and a half
years ago I found his lack of explaination about the DJGPP environment
to be a disappointment. (and the info system with DJGPP was
unbearable!)  Steve's approach was to hide even the command line from
learners by batch files.  As far as learning the language, this book
would be a pre-primer.  You would still need a formally structured
language lesson book to program anything usefull.

As for beginner books in general www.informit.com has book content
available for on-line viewing.
