Halo,
Ok i've decided to learn C++ now. I've got Deitel's C: How to program and it has an introduction on c++. An introduction is obviously not enough. Which book is better? The complete reference one or the deitel one? I already know C.
thnx bye

I personally feel that "Thinking in C++" is a much better book to refer.... helps you migrate from C gracefully into C++.
To top it all, it comes free of cost on the net. You get the PDF / HTML version free :)
"Thinking in C++" by Bruce Eckel
If you know C I recommend a fast pace C++ book.
Accelerated C++: Practical Programming by Example by Andrew Koenig and Barbara E. Moo.

The Complete Reference book! Thats the one I used to learn C++. It's over 1000 pages, and it the book is split into two, C and C++. It explains thoughout the differences between the two. Extremely helpful and deep in its information.
Yes, I agree with Speedy. You cant go wrong with the Complete Reference. The author really knows what he's talking about as he is a member of the original commitee who standardized C++ in 1994. I've read the C++ The beginner's guide and now am currently quarter way through the complete reference and have found it to be quite helpful for those with a pre-existing knowledge of C.
yeap, i think i'll buy the complete reference then ^.^.
Although i find the deitel's series VERY clear to read and understand and the code structure and format is VERY good, the complete reference has a lot more content.
