Hi all,
I would like a recommendation on a C++ book. I have a basic knowledge of the subject and have program in it, I am refreshing my basic skills and advancing them. Also are there places that has C++ projects that I can do for fun?
Thanks for your help

Go to http://rudbek.com/books.html (not mine). If your book collection does not include the first two, get them. Not mentioned in the list, but also I think important for beginners is C++ Primer , 4th edition, by Stanley Lippman.
If you're advanced, you should certainly check out "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++.
In the meantime, there are some good books available online for free - this one was recommended in a previous thread.
Greetings,
Nepomuk

I'll second that one (I have the 5th ed by Steve Prata, but I assume they are fairly similar).

Prata’s book and Lippman’s book are not related in any way.

Ah you're right; Prata's is C++ Primer Plus.
Anyway, that's my pick - thorough but thoroughly readable, doesn't shy away from more complicated aspects of the language.
Thanks, I will go and look those books up.(Sorry I took so long to answer back, my internet was down, had to replace the cable modem)
Do those books have how to use graphics with c++?

Prata's doesn't, the others most likely don't either.
C++ doesn't have support for graphics built into the language, instead you will use a library depending on your system and your needs/preferences. Ivor Horton's Beginning Visual C++ 2008 has some chapters devoted to generating simple graphics using MFC in Windows.
You are more likely to use online resources and documentation to choose a graphics library and learn it rather than finding a book on that particular library.
