- As the best beginner's book on C++ for somebody who knows C I
- recommend TEACH YOURSELF C++ by Herbert Schildt, published by Osborne
- McGraw Hill ISBN 0-07-881760-9
- It is only a primer. There is no depth and it lacks detail; for
- example templates are not mentioned. BUT, there is a superb
- wealth of practice examples with answers and frequent quizzes
- with answers. The progression is quite gradual. This book is
- a highly efficient way to get started with C++, provided you
- know C. Incidentally this book is not mentioned in the FAQ.
