C++ help! Can anyone tell me the books that are sequential in learning C++ from basic to most advanced.?

Question

I want to learn a programming language, so I thought to go for C++.
As a CS major, I took introductory programming class where I learned making classes, and the concept of pointers.
But still, would like to start right from base to reach the very roof. What are books that you C++ developers or learners would recommend me. I understand that it may take 3, 4 to 5 books.
Thank you

Beginner's C++ Books:

Advanced C++ Books:

Start with C++ Primer by Lippman or Accelerated C++ by Koenig. They will get you the fundamentals of C++ from which you can polish your knowledge.

Once you've gone through those books, you'll want to get books like Modern C++ Design, Exceptional C++, Exceptional C++ Style, and Efficient C++. There's a few other books you may consider keeping like "The C++ Standard Library". If you're serious about C++, you'll definitely want a copy of "The C++ Programming Language", get the Special Edition. It's by Stroustrup, *the* authority on C++.

First you should start with "Teach Yourself C++" by Robert Lafore. This is an excellent book which gives you top to bottom description for each feature of C++ language in easy language and with easiest and practical examples. Once you will complete this book you will be confident to do programming in C++.

Then you should start learning "The Complete Reference: C++" By Herbert Schildt. This is an advance book which describes all the feature in much depth.

I think "Teach Yourself C++" by Robert Lafore is enough to make you confident about C++ programming. You should use "The Complete Reference: C++" in future use while advance programming in C++.

Happy learning...

Answer 3

the book is called "C++: An Introduction to Computing". Not for sure but I believe the author is Larry Nyhoff

Answer 6

I don't know of any books, but I do know of a great website: Planet Source Code. http://www.pscode.com - has everything from simple subs and functions to complete applications - all in source code form (you have to have the IDE on your system in order to run them)

Answer 7

all the e-books of C and C++ and source examples in a CD.
you may write me for it.
