Hi everyone,
I am learning c++ using the deitel c++ how to program 4th edition. I am
currently finishing chapter 7 and I am pretty blown away. I am not really
having trouble understanding the code or concepts it just seems like a ton
to learn/remember. I was hoping some of you more experience c++ programmers
could give me some tips on online resources for code and books that I should
buy to accompany the ones I have now (the deitel book and c++ programming
for linux).
Thanks in advance,
Shock

IMO a good quality text.

Your perception is accurate. C++ is a very large language
(compared to C for example). I don't think anyone can
'remember' all of it, that's why we have so many books
around. I own hundreds of programming books, probably
around 20-25 are specifically about C++, its standard
library, and C++ design and usage techniques. And I'm
saving my nickels to buy more... :-)
There are also some good trade publications, such as
C/C++ Users Journal (www.cuj.com) which have good articles
'from the trenches', written by practicing professionals.
I was hoping some of you more experience c++ programmers
could give me some tips on online resources for code and books that I
should buy to accompany the ones I have now (the deitel book and c++ programming
for linux). http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~a...acllc-c++.html
Sections 6,7,8 probably of particular interest to you.
C++ is a platform-independent language, so your host
platform doesn't really matter, as long as a C++
implementation for it is available.
And remember, we're all here, willing to assist
when you want/need it.
Good luck!

Thanks in advance,

Hey Shock,
1) The C++ Standard Library by Josuttis
http://www.bookpool.com/.x/3zn8pi9590/sm/0201379260
2) Design Patterns by Gamma, et. al.
http://www.bookpool.com/.x/3zn8pijbfr/sm/0201633612
While both are excellent books that imo every C++ coder
should eventually own, I feel they're rather 'advanced'
for the novice, as 'Shock' seems to be.
Shock: Do note these titles for later.

Effective C++ is often recommended but I'll give it a particular plug for someone
at your level (knows a bit but is starting to feel lost). Meyer's approach of
explaining why you should and shouldn't do certain things gave me a much better
understanding of what some features of C++ were there for. My understanding of
what virtual functions do and what problems they try to solve was improved by his
example of a particular bit of hard to maintain code that is made much easier with
virtual functions. After reading that I actually understood why I should use them,
not just how to use them. Don't really *get* friend functions? Read up on when
you should use friend functions and when you should use member functions.
If it's too advanced for you now then put it aside and come back to it later.

Thanks everybody. I got a lot of good resources and books recommendations .
I have to say that I have done visual basic, php, javascript, cobol (yuck),
ada, and a few other languages and I like c++ the best. I am looking
forward to using your recommendations and getting better and better.
Thanks again,
Shock

In addition to the online version of the C++ FAQ, you should also purchase
the book C++ FAQs by Cline. It's bigger and has more stuff than the online
version. A great resource, easy and succinct. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

On monday I start a semester course in Python (the alternative was

2) There is no mention of list comprehensions, but map and filter are
taught early and then revisited later. I don't think this is good: list
comprehensions are, IMO, one of Python's great features, Psyco prefers
them, they're more pythonic, and map...

read Accelerated C++ until Chapter 7, however it seems that it
