- The book is called "The C++ Programming Language", by Bjarne Stroustrup;
- Addison-Wesley, second edition 1991. I got mine from Dymocks in Sydney.
- Any ol' bookstore will probably order it in for you - or go to the local
- Co-op bookshop; university students probably use this book as bedtime reading.
-
- Yes, its quite nice for beginners. I'm just starting C++ myself, BTW.
-
- One third of the book is given to reference, which (presumably) the draft
- standard started from, and two thirds of the book discusses using C++, starting
- from (almost) the basics.
-
- Just look out for deviations in your particular compiler (e.g. the new cast
- syntax, support for exceptions, etc).
