Recommend book for programming Solidworks
(OP)
I purchased a book titled: "Automating SolidWorks 2004 Using Macros" but it assumes you know how to program already. Can anyone recommend a book for programming in SW? I believe C++ is what I need to learn, if not please advise.
I am also contemplating taking a course at a community college in the spring and want to know if this sounds like a good one to start:
If there is a good book to start with, then maybe I can forgo the $260 course.

Recorded macros are helpful but often they don't record certain necessary information. This is especially true when managing selections.

I will look for a book on VBA at Amazon and also see what kind of tutorials are on the net.
The only programming I have ever done was AutoLISP for AutoCAD and that is completely useless in SW. There were some that I did that you enter a few variables in a dialog box and it would make a complete 3D solid part.
