Can anyone recommend any books for newbies to C++? I'm not a total newbie, but I don't think the book in my avatar is doing a good job of anything.I'm thinking about buying this book but am concerned because it was published in 2001. Would the publishing date make a difference at all (due to all of that ANSI and ISO stuff)?
Thanks-
If your not a total newbie what exactly are you wanting to study? Pretty much any topic youcan think of has a tutorial somewhere online for free. Using google you can type in keywords such as datastructures tutorial. STL tutorial, C++ classes tutorial. Books are great as well. Free online book Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel or you can buy the hardcopy if you want. Check out your local library they usually carry a selection of computer books they might also be able to request that specific one. Or you can goto a college textbook store and look through them to see if they are worth buying. I did a search on college computer courses looking at what they use for textbooks to give me a place to start.

You may teach a person from now until doom's day, but that person will only know what he learns himself.
Now I know what doesn't work.
A problem is understood by solving it, not by pondering it.
