A good C++ book

The Definitive C++ Book Guide and List

Hi all,

suppose that you have a good C understanding. Which C++ book would you recommend? Maybe the best book you can think of?

Thanks

From stackoverflow lmsasu

• Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel. Since you are good with C, you might want to skip some parts from volume 1. Btw, book is completely free which is another advantage :)

  Mecki : I have this one, too. Nice one!
  From Sanja

• I would recommend "C++: The Complete Reference" by Herbert Schildt. This is an excellent overview of the C++ language.

  

  From grigy

• I'd read Bjarne Stroustrup books. He's the language creator and he's brilliant.

  

  From Yuval Peled

• You can get the language basics & syntax from the web or help. But to really understand C++ you need one of these (or all of them):

  Effective C++ (several editions available)

  

  C++ Gotchas

  

  Matt Price : The 3rd edition of Effective C++ is a serious upgrade. If you've only read the 2rd edition you should get the 3rd edition.

  steffenj : 'twas just the first pic i found. I have the 3rd edition. :) Sorry for not scaling the pics btw.

  HeretoLearn : Meyer's books assume that you know the basics of C++, not the best books to learn the language.
  From steffenj

• I would recommend Thinking In C++ by Bruce Eckel for three reasons:

  1. It is written from the perspective of someone coming from C and learning C++.
  2. There is a second volume that provides good coverage of the STL.
  3. It's free!

  

  sharkin : Already suggested by an earlier poster. Tip: Wait until you have five votes and deleted it and get the "Diciplined" badge ;-)

• Accelerated C++ was the one that turned the corner for me. Thin, readable, effective.

  From Nick Hebb

• C++ From the Ground Up is one of my favorites

  From warren

• Once you have read "The C++ Programming Language" by Stroustrup (what is legal) and "Effective C++" and relatives by Meyers (what is moral) get:

  "The C++ Standard Library, A Tutorial and Reference" by Josuttis.

  Title says it all.

  From Justsalt

• Lippman, Lajoie and Moo, C++ Primer is a good book, i started with and old edition many year ago.
  after you learn the c++ you can switch to some advanced book like:
  Exceptional C++, More Exceptional C++ and Exceptional C++ Style by Herb Sutter, search for guru of the week on the internet.
  Modern C++ Design by Andrei Alexandrescu, on the internet you found many articles.

  good luck

• Accelerated C++ by Andrew Koenig and Barbara E. Moo.

  It is a great book, gets you started fast and teaches how to think in C++.

  From lajos

• I also think C++: The Complete Reference" by Herbert Schildt is the best starting book because it starts with a C only part then it moves to c++, so it reinforces what you already know. Also at the end you can difference between c and c++ which most people cant do. Cons: really heavy to carry. Tip: once finished take a look at the boost libraries, they are very good to accelerate your development.
