I'm closing in on finishing C++ Primer (5th edition). What a wonderfull book, C++ seemed so vague and complex before I got my hands on this. Maybe some of my knowledge of Delphi helped me out tho.
But, I'm still far from satisfied with my knowledge. Even the author said that the book alone probably won't give me that much knowledge for me to allready be able to make stand-alone GUI applications (or such).
What do you recommend me as a second book? My interests are not gaming. I would like to get started with something simple, maybe image manipulation, text editing applications etc. Right now I'm more in the mood for some creative books, rather then books that focus on code optmization/similar topics. I thought about that Windows Programming book... but I'm still not sure if that's what I need right now.
