Please could someone tell me what the best Book(s) are to read to learn c++ from scratch.

cheers

I've been told anything by Schildt is good, but I'm sure one of these guys can recommend a certain book. Oh, and if you want to learn C, C For Dummies rules.

To whom it may concern: A good free online C++ book is Thinking in C++.

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

Ok I read the Tut. and I didn't understand any of it....at all. I just don't get C++

Does anyone know a good C++ book that you might be able to find at the library?

I've heard Herbert Schidlt (however it's spelt) is a good author. And BTW, I am the funny-code-in-signature guy - don't try and compete :p

Just do an amazon search and read the reviews...

Usually good books have good reviews... go figure...

I've never bought or read a "for dummies" book just because it implies that the book is oversimplified crap for nubs, but then again I'll never know because I've never tried.

I personaly dont think that any of the books on programming are not worth the buy or not worth to get... I know that I am new to programming but I think that everything is worth it...
