Thread: apperently the c++ manual im reading is outdated.

im reading teach yourself "C++ Second Edition".. and was recently told it's outdated and i might need to re-learn some stuff. (frustrated look on my face right now)

is third edition up to date(or a newer one)? I really enjoyed this manual. is there a specific book thats great to learn that resembels this one...?

I think the current version is the 5th edition. It's probably not that much different than the 3rd edition. It has been updated to reflect the modern standard C++ (meaning its code will work on modern compilers). However, it still uses some older practices. Most C++ books and tutorials have that same problem, so while I would recommend finding a book that doesn't, you'll be fine if you stick with what you've got.

The problem for you is that I'm not sure if any newer versions are available online.

ill go out to the nearest Chapters and buy a good book if i have to. it's not a problem. the problem is which book is up to date and good for beginner like me. i liked "21 days to c++" because it goes in depth to tell you what happens if you exceed a signed int value, and such. if you have any suggestions i would appriciate. the kind of book i don't want would be called "learn c++ in 121 day" .

Check the book recommendations thread stickied at the top of this forum. The three options I would suggest are these (in order of preference):

Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo
You Can Do It! by Glassborow
Beginning C++ Game Programming by Dawson

you rock dude!
thanks for you input and time.

I'm just posting this to keep other's computers safe; what I mean by that is that when I follow that link, McAfee SiteAdvisor shows it as red, telling me that many of the downloads have spyware/trojans. It may just be the host, but I thought I might warn anyone (again, it may not be that particular link). Sorry for going off topic.
