I'm a beginner in C++ programming. Do anyone know a great C++ book to use that would be beneficial to me?

I have heard Stroustrup's book is good, though I haven't used it. (Stroustrup's homepage)

I would recommend going to a bookstore, getting a few different ones, and opening them up to the middle. See how the author presents the more difficult material. From there, get the one where you think the author has best conveyed the basic concepts to you. It's all about how you learn, and what you will understand the best.

IMHO it is; for the entire line of those particular kind of languages, i.e. BCPL,
C, C++ and Java, the books written by the creators of the languages are the
best. Bjarne Stroustrup's book is quite a read: about 900 page but when you've
read and understood it from cover to cover you've understood the language.

kind regards,

Jos

I liked Bruce Eckel's "Thinking In C++". It is a free book online, or you can buy it in the stores.

I recommend the "C++ Primer Plus" 5th edition by Stephen Prata.

This text requires no prior knowledge of C and is easy to read with lots of examples.
