I will be teaching a new C++ programming elective at my school. Does anyone have a suggestion of a good introduction book to use?

The C++ Primer Plus, whatever edition is latest.
The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup. Excelent book in my opinion.
The C Primer Plus book is on its 5th edition now (2005)
There are whole bunch of C++ books out there- depends on what you want to do in the course and the students backgrounds.
some books I have used.
OOP in C++ Lafore, Sams
Absolute C++, Savitch, AWL
C++ HTP- now 5th ed.
Programming and Problem Solving in C++, Koffman, etc. - AWL
Starting out with C++, Gaddis, AWL
Mr. C.
I learned with this one. In some points he gets to specific, but it relies only in standard coding. That's good.Quote:

Accelerated C++ by Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo. Coupled with a good teacher, that book should be more than enough as an introductory text.
...tripled with Stanford-type students...Quote:

I think cboard.cprogramming.com is more comprehensive than any textbook in this world.
Since we will suggest google, tutorials, worthseeing sites or answering your questions directly which accelerates learning curve and reducing learning time.
