By Tony Gaddus and Barret Krupnow
Very good book for begininers and pros, alike! It is descriptive enough for those who are new to programming, but has pleanty of coding examples for the mored advanced user. An since it is the brief version... It is quick and to the point! I highly recomend it!
Well, there are mine recommendations:

I enjoyed the sequel, C++ Common Knowledge: Essential Intermediate Programming, also by Stephen Dewhurst.C++ Gotchas: Avoiding Common Problems in Coding and Design
Look up a C++ Reference and learn How To Ask Questions The Smart WayOriginally Posted by Bjarne Stroustrup (2000-10-14)
Buy Used
Don't buy new. Buy used (amazon good) and save yourself some money.
I picked up a book on another language for $1 at the local used book store.
I can recommend the QUE books as always good.
And over the years the websites and forums are really almost all you need.
Also, get a book on your IDE, because that's where the real bottle neck can be.

C++:A Beginner's Guide, Second Edition by Herbert Schildt
This is my first book, and i'm learning well from it
"C++ How to Program, Fifth Edition By Deitel"
Don't go for the older editions. Book is lengthy but good. Great for Beginners and possibly intermediate programmers.
that`s the book wich i take it as a text book in my university but with 4th edition
it`s relly good and simple to understand
Not really. It teaches C style C++.
Computing Fundamentals with C++: Object-Oriented Programming & Design. Second Edition. Rick Mercer
Great book for getting started with C++. Doubles as a good starter and a great reference.
Another source (besides ANSI) for The C/C++ Language Standards is The British Standards Institute. At about $75.00 USD each, the price is about 1/4 of the ANSI hard-copy price. (They are available from Amazon.)
C++ Language Standard (BSI) = ISBN 0470846747

Can anyone advise me on a good book which includes GUI programming? I'm learning out of C++ How to Program (5th edition) at the moment which in my amateur opinion is a pretty good book, everything is explained and lots of exercises to do. Unfortunately they have omitted any GUI and event handling. They do have a separate book out for GUI but it was released in 2000 which I assume is a bit out of date.
Since you do not indicate a platform preference, I'd strongly recommend using Qt as your GUI library so that the programs you write will be more platform independent. Here is a fantastic Qt book, which includes a CD with all of the free versions of Qt for common platforms (Unix, Mac, Windoze)

C++ Primer Plus (Fifth Edition), by Stephen Prata.
I am a complete beginner in programming, but have been able to learn a lot through this book. It breaks up the learning into many small pieces, with programming exercises and questions to help the reader understand.
For me as a newbie, this book has been of great assistance.
