Best Book on C++ For Absolute Beginners?

[sumitdutta]

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!
