Can Someone Recommend a GOOD C++ Book for beginners ?
Hey Everyone....
Can anyone recommend a good book on C++ for me perhaps ? there seems to be so frickin' many I can't tell which is a good one.
I need one that starts from the beginning. However I am a good problem solver, I understand electronics very well, and I am good with HTML and a little PHP so....
not tooooooo beginner either.
any insight on a good book would be greatly appreciated.
cheers.

I like accelerated c++. It wont teach you how to use a compiler or debug but it will teach you a lot about C++.
Another decent book is thinking in c++ which is freely available as 2 ebooks from the author's site here.
Get Microsoft Visual C++ Express here or CodeBlocks here.
Get STLFilt here to radically improve error messages when using the STL.
Get these two can't live without C++ libraries, BOOST here and Loki here.
Check your code with the Comeau Compiler and FlexeLint for standards compliance and some subtle errors.
Always use [code] code tags [/code] to make code legible and preserve indentation.
Do not ask for help writing destructive software such as viruses, gamehacks, keyloggers and the suchlike.

My top 4 books are not really for beginners but I will recommend you to read them as soon as you cover the C++ basics.
1. The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup, Addison-Wesley, 1986 (1st edition), 1991 (2nd edition), 1997 (3rd edition), 2000 (special edition).
2. Effective C++ by Scott Meyers.
3. Design Patterns by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides
4. Modern C++ Design by Andrei Alexandrescu
Anyway you can find more good C++ books (also for beginners) in the following link:
