    Schildt is less on the theories, more on the code. I use his books as more of a reference, and learn the theories from the courses I'm taking.

    The C++ complete reference and MFC from the ground up are probably the two best references I've read on each respective subject.

    I'm in AB right now.. and It's real easy for me (I knew C++ real well before taking it) but people in my class have a harder time, so for anybody out there I'd recommend having a good grasp on C++ before beginning. My teacher is strong on theory but weak in C++ (the only language she's "mastered" is Pascal) I recommended the Schildt book to her for this reason, and it seems to be helping her and the rest of the class out a lot.
