C++ Book Recommendations
Hi,

Does anyone know of any good C++ books, can anyone recommend a few good ones I can buy.

I'm not new to programming, I'm pretty good with Java, and I've done a little C. I've also been working with Objective-C lately.

I'm looking for a book that doesn't move too slowly and doesn't spend chapter after chapter explaining what a GUI is and teach me how to write 'Hello, World' in big pink letters. I want something that gets straight to the point, if you know what I mean?!

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Look between Acclerated C++ by Koenig, C++ Primer by Lippman, and Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Stroustrup.

Need help with broken code?

We need all three to help you.

"An Introduction to Programming with C++ would be good, don't really need to read everything in the book.

I found this book to be quite insighful but it lacked a certain depth. It is a little old now but should still be relevant.

If it wasn't for C, we'd be using BASI, PASAL and OBOL.

There are a lot of ebooks on C/C++ out there for downloading. ebookee.com and 4shared.com are good places to start.

And after doing that, you may want to get yourself a LibraryThing.com account. It's a website where you can list/catalog your books. Free account can hold up to 200 books. My library of C/C++/C# is at librarything.com/catalog/programmer.jp.

Then, to answer your question which book is the best, just look at the stats of books owned by the majority. You'll have an idea.
