Search the forum for "books". You'll find lots of discussion, mostly regarding beginning books.
My beginning book was Teach Yourself C++ In 21 Days, by Jesse Liberty. It’s easy to understand and well organized for self-study with questions & exercises at the end of each “day” (chapter) and answers & solutions in the back. WARNING – This book is controversial… some people hate it!
On the other hand, I’ve NEVER read anything negative about Accelerated C++.
Haha, my first book was Teach Yourself C++ In 21 Days too. It was the 2nd ed. though. I'd like to clear up my opinion on the book, even though no one cares, since when I was new I thought it was good, and stated that on these forums. I don't like its long-winded approach to teaching a concept and its overly-developed source code (that force you to never skip around, even though I didnt try). It was very bad, especially compared to the three I listed in my last post, and I don't recommend it. The 5th ed. is out though, by Jesse again, and is still getting bad ratings - well.. 3/5 is better than 1/5 on the older versions. I see no point in getting it ($15 more for a great book is worth it).
Warning: Have doubt in anything I post.
