What are the best books I can learn C++ from?
The canonical text for C++ is The C++ Programming Language, 3rd edition, by Bjarne Stroustrup. Experienced C++ programmers love it; however, many beginners seem to find it very hard going indeed. Like K&R2, it assumes basic familiarity with programming concepts and is not really intended for the absolute beginner. It does not assume any previous knowledge of C. http://www.research.att.com/~bs/about_3rd.htmlBeginners are advised to obtain Stroustrup’s hardcover “Special Edition”, as it contains many corrections and new appendices which will be valuable later on. A good starting point for C++ is Stan Lippman and Josee Lajoie’s C++ Primer, a solid text with a strong focus on text processing and standard C++ programming. Both authors were active in development of the C++ standard. The book is eminently readable, and would be a good beginning for those with minimal programming experience. Published in 1998, it remains a valuable resource. http://www.awl.com/cseng/titles/0-201-82470-1/More r
