Which BOOK would you recommend for C++ ?

[AmberJain]

HELLO,

I know that such a question existed on bytes.com a few days ago but I cannot locate it now (I forgot to subscribe to the thread and therefore I'm posting this question again).

I recently got "C++ Primer" by Stanley B. Lippman, Josse Lajoie, Barbara E. Moo. (image below)

Do you think it is right book for me? If not then which book should I prefer?

Let me tell you that I'm an ABSOLUTE newbie to C++ (I dont know anything about C++).


THANKS in advance................

Thats a good book according to me

I think you mean this thread about C++ books, but there's also this one about C books.

I know and agree of course that books are important , but personal understanding or reception of the facts being brought to you by books are more impotant .I find books written by Richie and Herbert to be informative .

Any book by Herbert Schildt should be stored *in* the fire place.

Thats nice to hear , why dont you like Herbert's books ? I think he is a good writer. I always try to learn something from him.

Herbert Schildt is only in it for the money: his books on C and C++ are all utter
crap full of blatant errors. I hope he didn't put any nonsense on paper concerning
any other programming languages. Poor trees.
