Hi,

I'm a junior developer with decent C programming knowledge. I'm now looking into learning C++, using Visual C++ 6.0.

I'd like to know what C++ books out there are THE recommended books to buy for learning C++ and why? I'm looking for beginner to intermediate books, which also cover file handling and input/output processing.

Many thanks!

Mike

While not as specific an answer as you are looking for, there are a number of articles and book reviews on Tech Republic's sister site www.builder.com.com

There are also weekly e-mails on C++ and other languages that you can sign up for.

By now (if cost is a factor) you should be able to buy Sams for less than $20, gives step by step with 21 day learning curve.

BTW - In less than 6 hours was on day 7 of programming learning curve. C++ is not a non-logical program.

The best book is C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup. But before taking that do buy the C++ Unleashed book. It will give you indepth knowledge abt. the topics. More can then be obtained from the author of C++ himself.

I am doing the same thing you are. I picked up the Deitel package, The Complete C++ Training course. I also like Starting With C++ by Jamsa. While there is some free training coursework on line, having tried it, I appreciate having more in-depth explanations. Also there is a cd package by Learn2.Com for C++ ($30.) If you have money buy the Keystone series for Visual C++. That is very good.
