I am interested in learning C++, what book do you recomend? This is not a programming question. I understand that posting a programming question in the lounge will result in death.
I'm particularly fond of Practical Visual C++ 6 by Bates & Tompkins, though I'm quickly discovering much that it doesn't cover. As a great beginner text, and especially for its coverage of how to accomplish common tasks using the built-in tools in the IDE, it's hard to beat. I still have to ask a lot of stupid questions in the C++ Forum, but they're a lot less stupid than they used to be.:-D Will Build Nuclear Missile For Food - No Target Too Small

I agree! Those are great books. I used them in college and find myself going back to them because I learned so much. I felt they explained pretty much everything you need to know. Great Books! There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

I started with this book, written by Bjarne Stroustrup, the guy who created the language. I recommend it highly, although I don't have the very latest edition. I hear that the Deitel books are decent; they do have their detractors as well as their fans, but nobody calls them outright crap. I'd run screaming from any introductory book that tries to teach you anything about MFC or anything else but the language. C++ is sufficiently tricky that you really need a solid grounding in the language before you start learning lots of (proprietary) APIs. Regards, Jeff Varszegi

To warm up, use Accelerated C++ [^], and later be sure to read The Book[^]

Oh, Okay! He must have been refering to the Eddie Izzard thing (Which he's done in English and French - The French version is funnier, because Eddie just woke up one day and said I'm going to do my act in French even although he didn't speak any French.) Anyway, the Eddie Izzard thing was: What if the Spanish Inquisition was organised my the Church of England? It is really funny and I urge you to see it (in the language of your choice)

:laugh: I'll throw in my 2 cents for "Thinking in C++ (Volume 1) - Introduction to Standard C++" by Bruce Eckel (2nd Edition) and "Thinking in C++ (Volume 2) - Practical Programming" by Bruce Eckel... I used to teach C++ (among other things) and all of my students enjoyed Mr. Eckel's books. That said... Standard C++ and VC++ (Microsoft Visual C++) have quite a few diffrences (I can hear the "which is better" debate starting already) ;P but the best peice of advice I can give you for MFC/WTL/ATL/STL is don't be afraid to download compile, tinker, break, ask, fix, and have fun with all of the very good code right here!
