i dont know exactly what type of books you need (basic,advanced) anyhow i suggest you to study
Programming and Problem Solving in C++ by Nell Dale
or
C++ Programming by Dietel and Dietel
or
C++ The complete Reference
Two men looked out from Prison Bars,One saw the mud,the other saw stars.
Im thinking of learning the basics. and then move on to the advanced stuff.
And thanks for replying..
Any other suggestions??
Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days.
Don't be put off by the 'in 21 Days' aspect of the title. It's some 850 pages and covers a lot of stuff in a way that a newbie can follow.
I have 2 books by deitel one , version 1994, the other 98.
i dont like the 98. it bothers my eyes because its too shiny, and uses too much red color. but 94 is slimmer and uses mellw blue.
i prefer reading that . is there a major difference between
the two edition?where there tons of stuff added to c++
implementation language after 94?

It was around then that exceptions,templates,advanced templating (specialisation etc), RTTI, and the STL were introduced.Id say that was quite a radical change to c++. Before that c++ was more like C with bells on!where there tons of stuff added to c++
implementation language after 94?
Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi
The author is Jesse Liberty.
Good self-study style. Examples, questions (with answers), exercises (with solutions).
It also makes a handy reference book. I have several other books, but I usually look in "21 Days" first. If the answer is in there, it will be easy to find and easy to understand.
An excellent book is Object-Oriented Programming in C++ (4th Edition) -- by Robert Lafore, Waite Group. Teaches C++ very thoroughly, is easy to read, and is great for learning object oriented concepts on top of the language.
yes i agree with pjyelton. ALso check this site out for books

Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Enterprise
I keep hearing mixed things about C++ How to Program by Deitel and Deitel. I've read an earlier edition of it (2nd?) and I thought it was excellent - easy to understand, VERY thorough, and terrific exercises. I was going to buy the latest edition, but after reading some other people's opinions on that edition, now I'm not so sure... any other opinions on this book?
