- I have found Stroustrup's book, along with the C++ FAQs, an excellent set of
- references. My prof. @ school also recommends Effective C++ and More Effective
- C++. IMHO, I found the book mentioned below very poor for those folks who want
- to master the language. (OTOH, I can see how it would be good for those without
- alot of programming background.)
