    Using Herbert Schildt books Good Or Bad?

    Hello,

    Ive been teaching myself C++ properly for the last few weeks. Ive been working really hard at this taking notes etc, rather than just breezing through books and picking up bits of the language along the way and missing the "small features".

    The thing is my primary soure of learning is herbert shildt's C++ a beginners guide. Although I find the book very clear and easy to follow, i was looking in the book recommendations on this site and there was a post saying they wouldn't recommend his books as they are full of errors and have bad coding pratices.

    I would like to know if anyone shares this opinion as i would rather change tomes now than find im teaching myself bad practises!!!
    Thanks

    EDIT: This is not an excuse for a which book is the best flame war just opinions thats all
