A book's quality is relative to every observers frame of reference. I think most SAMS books are shit regardless of wether or not I learned from then or not. After learning the content in them and having had to superceide some of the inaccuracies in the standard conformancy(Teach Yourself C in 21 Days) the hard way, I know that SAMS isn't the way to go. I've read quite a few of their titles, and only swear by one(Beginning Programming in 24 Hours). I'm quite fond of TCP/IP for Dummies and most of their old DOS related books(PCs for Dummies, DOS for Dummies, Email for Dummies...) so I have had good experiences with it. O'Reilly is also very good when it comes to reference manuals, but some of the things in their "Learning" series of books was still somewhat hard to grasp.

I agree that a good free online C++ book is "Thinking in C++" by Bruce Eckel.
The electronic book "Thinking in Java" by the same author is also excellent.
Both of them can be downloaded from
