I actually have two books. One is great and really complicated but the other is humongous and easy.

Accelarated C++ by Barabara E. Moo and Andrew Koenig
// hard one

Object Oriented Programming in C++ By Rabort Lafore
//easy one


I highly recommend Accelarated c++ and so do many people around here that i have seen.

Deitel and Deitel do not have an advanced C++ book as of yet. There are however many data structure books you should look at next.

IMHO the Deitel C++ 4th ed. is not as good as its previous editions. They cut back on stuff like templates and operator overloading and added a web chapter.

the Lafore book is the C++ text we currently use at my college.

The recommended CS curricula for learning to program is CS1 CS2 and CS7 (which is basically data structures)
