- I just completed a two-course series on C++ and Object-Oriented Programming. I gathered a few C++
- references along the way, and after using them all intensively, I recommend the following 2:
-
- "C++ Inside & Out" by Bruce Eckel, from Osborne McGraw-Hill, ISBN 0-07-881809-5
- This guy has a real flair for clearly describing C++ features.
-
- "C++ FAQs", by Marshall Cline and Greg Lomow, from Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-58958-3
- Like Marshall says, the book is better than the e-news FAQs. Bigger by 500% and riddled with coding
- examples, well-indexed and cross-referenced. I studied the e-news version for many hours before I
- bought the book. I go to this book when I have a specific question that the Annotated Reference
- Manual doesn't cover. Lots of usability answers here.
