i managed to save up enough money and order the book "Accelerated C++" today (paid a good 60$)..now my Q. is would this book help me learn c++ , even if i have no prior knowledge in c++? (i have a basic understanding in C up to arrays and functions, and the book would be at my door steps sometime next week)

By looking at the topics covered at amazon,

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Topics covered:
  2.  
  3. Introduction to C++
  4. Console I/O with stream classes
  5. Basic string handling
  6. Loop and flow-control statements
  7. Arrays
  8. Using functions and methods
  9. Using Standard Template Library (STL) containers (vectors, linked lists, and maps)
  10. Iterators
  11. Sorting and generic functions
  12. Basic class design
  13. Pointers and arrays
  14. File I/O
  15. Memory-management techniques, including statically and dynamically allocated memory
  16. Adding stream support to custom classes
  17. Conversion operators
  18. Operator overloading
  19. Friend functions
  20. Inheritance
  21. Polymorphism and virtual functions
  22. Handle idioms for classes, including reference counting
  23. Quick reference to the C++ language

Sounds like a book that will teach you from ground up. But looks like it also covers some more advance topics aswell.

I personally prefer this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Pr...1713747&sr=1-1
If you are forced to reinvent the wheel at least try to invent a better one!
