I'm just starting to get into C++, actually, this is my 2nd go at it. I bought a book titled "Practical C++". I haven't started reading it yet (start tomorrow), just glancing through it and it looks good. Anyways, my question. I was just wondering what you guys think of this book if you've ever read it?... Also, if you have any other books to recommend to me, such as required read or what not would be great too. I'm only 16, but before now I've been working with mostly web related languages, such as HTML, XML, PHP. I'd like to be a C++ programmer as a career, maybe even an independent some day. Well, thanks for the replys. ;P :-D

Chris and others have started compiling a list of great programming books, reference or otherwise. Go here. Jon Sagara "Go Banana!" -- Ralph Wiggum

Hey Ryan, Definately get these two books: Effictive C++ -- Scott Meyers More Effective C++ -- Scott Meyers These books really help you make the jump from a beginner/intermediate level to a more advanced level. Reading other introductory books and knowing the basics before reading these two books will provide you with the most benefit. Also do yourself a favor and get the book "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" The stuff in there may not appear immediately useful to you, but read it again every once in a while. It'll give you alot of good ideas for your classes.

Cool, I didn't even know they made a list for that. Well, thanks, I'll be sure to look into them after I finish this one.
