Is there a mid-level C++ book?
Hi everyone
I have been looking for a book to help me learn C++, i have been round bookshops and amazon.co.uk, but i'm not really finding what i need. I already know how to program in C, i have been thinking that this means that i dont need a completely basic C++ book? How much of basic tutorial style books teach you C then expand into C++. I dont mind spending £30-£40 but i want to spend it on the right book that i'm gunna get a lot out of. So what i really want is a book that says "You already know C, here are the extras that C++ includes", are there books like this? Also im using MS Visual C++ 6.0 to compile it, would it be better to get a book based around this or a more general one? Thanks in advance nez

I take it that's one of your personal favs?
What sets it apart from some of the others, if you don't mind my asking?

Its one of the better C++ books that i have came across. I'd put it in the top 2% of all books that I have read.
