It gets asked so often I wonder if it's a faq (if you haven't seen the faq, have a look at http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/). You can search the faq for books. I also like the book reviews at http://accu.org/. You can view the book reviews by subject, http://accu.org/index.php/book_reviews?url=view.xqy?subject and you can see all the "beginner" books for C++, http://accu.org/index.php/book_reviews?url=search.xqy?field=subject&term=beginner's+c%2b%2b You may also want to search an archive of this group and comp.lang.c++ and comp.lang.c++.moderated to find some suggestions. Google Groups has a reasonable interface for doing this. Amazon may allow you to browse some of the books that are related to C++ programming with their look inside feature. But it may be better to go to a good book store, if you can, and take a look at the selection. If you do find one that you like, please let us know. I don't think this is a one size fits all kind of question, but I will make two specific recommendations. Francis Glassborrow's "You Can Do It- A beginner's introduction to Computer Programming!" may be just the ticket. If you're, or when you become, a little more advanced, Koneig and Moo's "Accelerated C++" is a very good read. But YMMV. Everyone else's does. ;) HTH. LR

"How to Be Popular at Parties", by The Yorkshire Ripper "The Rules of Association Football", by Maradonna "Beginners' Guide to Invading Foreign Countries", by General Galtieri "Peace in Our Time", by Neville Chamberlain "The Good Grammar Guide", by George Dubya Bush -- Richard Heathfield "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29/7/1999 http://www.cpax.org.uk email: rjh at above domain (but drop the www, obviously) |
