i intend to learn some C++ over the summer to get ahead of myself for uni. I had a java for dummies book, and i have to say, the reading list is impressive, as an encyclopedia of knowledge the dummies books work. BUT for learning how to program they suck egg. Nowhere near enough examples of coding to be had.
Anyway What i'm after is a nice book on C++ (or a couple) with a "fairly" broad range of material (from beginner stuff to the more advanced mostly general purpose stuff)
If anyone knows of any books like this which could be helpful (i'm probably buying through amazon.co.uk) it'd be appreciated, I'm looking for books like this on Java, PJHP and C++ so i'm gonna copy pretty much this same message to those boards
you cant really learn c/c++ from a book, i recomend looking at small open source projects and pulling apart what they have writen an an effort to see how it works.
i learned this way, and when i started out i used planet source code, and the code project. i recommend you take a look there, and here in the C++ tutorials also
