C++ Programming Language
C++:
The Core Language, Gregory Satir and Doug Brown
Useful because is doesn't attempt to teach everything about
C++ but focuses on a select subset of features. Designed for folks
with a background in C.
Teach
yourself C++ in 21 Days, Jesse Liberty
Don't really expect to learn all of C++ in 21 days, but it'd be hard
to sell an honestly titled book. ("Work fulltime for six months to get
halfway decent in C++"). We haven't read this book, but I have read a few
columns by Jesse in C++ Report; he has a decent, explanatory writing style.
C++
Primer, Stan Lippman
Lippman was one of the C++ pioneers and is generally well regarded.
C++
Programming Language, Third Edition, Bjarne Stroustrup
The "bible" of C++ programming, by the inventor. Great for completeness,
but not necessarily the best "first" book. We had to read through
the second edition many times to grok everything the book has to offer.
Design
and Evolution of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup
If you what to know the why's of C++ in a historical context, this
is the book.
STL
STL
Tutorial and Reference Guide: C++ Programming with the Standard Template
Library, Musser & Saini
A good book which focuses on just the Standard Template Library.
May be redundant if you already own the Stroustrup
book
, which covers the STL.
News Groups
comp.lang.c++ - Lots of posts, some junk
comp.lang.c++.moderated - Fewer posts, but they're filtered.
comp.std.c++ - Discussion of the C++ language and its features. A little esoteric.
Past newsgroup archives can be searched via Dejanews.
C++ tutorial
-- by Doug Schmidt
Doug is a former editor of C++ Report. These files are
in postscript. They can be viewed on a PC using ghostscript.
An incomplete
online tutorial
Looks like a good start
Bjarne
Stroustrup's home page
The inventor of C++
Search
from Google.
Google is a nifty search engine
that does not try to customize your page, provide you channels, or anything
like that.
Not necessarily the most organized, but decent info at a good price
Stan Lipmann's
generic algorithm examples
Apparently a work in progress, but what is there is nice.
