- I second these choices. Coplien's book is outstanding. In addition I would
- add Scott Meyer's Book on Effective C++ and Tom Cargil's book on C++
- Programing Style. The most important part of learning C++ is what to do once
- you have mastered the syntax. Both of these books show you how to use the
- language and WHY you should do consider using their guidelines.
