I am looking for a good C++ programming book to teach me the basics as well as point me in the right direction to more advanced coding. So far I have looked at a book called C++ Primer. There is many editions of this book, but the one I found at chapter was the 6th edition plus. Whats the difference between the 5th edition?
Programming: Principles And Practice Using C++
Currently reading this, Its made by Bjarne Stroustrup (I Think That's How You Spell)
He's the inventor of C++ :P
I personally prefer "Jumping into C++" By Alex Allain. Its a very good ebook that I am using at the moment to learn C++. I also use youtube videos and C++ for dummies on the side for additional help.
C++ Primer 5th & 6th Edition
Programming Principles And Practice Using C++
These books I would recommend to a newbie like myself! And there available online in pdf format!!
So what if your tired of reading books?
Well this forum has a excelent tutorial section also check this out when you get better at C++ http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/articles/12974/
Also TheNewBoston on YouTube has really good tutorials
The pdf versions are illegal and I think it shows little respect to the creator of c++, and the person that wrote C++ primer. The real version is also better to read through because it is easier to find something you forgot in the earlier chapters.
Alright thanks guys, I think i'll be buying the C++ Primer 6th edition. Its a lengthy 1k pages, so i'm pretty sure it will keep me occupied for quite some time.
