Best Book on C++ For Absolute Beginners?
I have no programming experience. I want to learn c++ from books only, not from any online tutorials. Which are the best books on c++ for absolute beginners, Other Than Primer Plus Plus & book by Kroenig & book by Bjarne Stroustrope? The book must teach in a very simple childish language.

You don't say why you want to learn c++. If it is for grame programming, then I would suggest
Beginning c++ through Game Programing.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-C-...inning+c%2B%2B
There are also
Beginning Programming with C++ for Dummies
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-Pr...inning+c%2B%2B
Ivor Horton's Beginning Visual c++ 2012 (There's also previous books covering earlier versions of Visual c++)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ivor-Hortons...inning+c%2B%2B
c++ from the beginning. Note that this does not cover c++11
http://www.amazon.co.uk/C-Beginning-...inning+c%2B%2B
The Deitel series of programming books are also highly regarded by many
c++ How to Program: Early Objects version
http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Program-...deitel+c%2B%2B
Note that there are many second hand books available on c++ programming - many of which are very cheap. There was a new c++ standard produced in 2011 (C++11). Books with a publication date before 2012 are unlikely to cover this version. The previous c++ standard (produced in 1998 with an update in 2003) is still very widely used. For learning c++ from scratch, I would not recommend any second hand c++ book published prior to about 2005 - however cheap!

All advice is offered in good faith only. All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality. I cannot offer advice regarding any other c/c++ compiler/IDE or incompatibilities with VS. You are ultimately responsible for the effects of your programs and the integrity of the machines they run on.
