Hi Lerto, These're some of the books that are highly recommended for C++ beginners:
1. C++ Primer†(Stanley Lippman, Josée Lajoie, and Barbara E. Moo) (updated for C++11) Coming at 1k pages, this is a very thorough introduction into C++ that covers just about everything in the language in a very accessible format and in great detail. 2. Accelerated C++ (Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo) This basically covers the same ground as the C++ Primer, but does so on a fourth of its space. This is largely because it does not attempt to be an introduction to programming, but an introduction to C++ for people who've previously programmed in some other language. It has a steeper learning curve, but, for those who can cope with this, it is a very compact introduction into the language. (Historically, it broke new ground by being the first beginner's book using a modern approach at teaching the language.) 3. Thinking in C++ (Bruce Eckel) Two volumes; second is more about standard library, but still very good 4. Programming Principles and Practice Using C++ (Bjarne Stroustrup): An introduction to programming using C++ by the creator of the language. A good read, that assumes no previous programming experience, but is not only for beginners. Read someone else s code because it'll help you know what things you're not implementing when you try to do the same thing. Remember that there is no work-around to reading books, if you really want to learn and understand a language. Most of these books are available online for free and it'll be a wise decision to buy a nice and comfortable ebook-reader. Ask question and ask them in right forum. You may also search through our LUG <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pulug> and find some answers to the queries of other beginners. I hope that helps.
