noticed some one mentioned about Sams teach yourself c++ in 10 minutes, just wondering why no body recommend its cousin:

Sams teach yourself c++ in 21 days by the same author: Jesse Liberty

a great book for beginners, if you have the time to read through the whole book. It is really detailed and gives tons of good examples.

To note a few books try anything by Jesse Liberty and C++ unleashed for the advanced.
Open your mind, or shut your mouth.

Any "teach yourself XXX in YYY" or "XXX for dummies" book isn't worth the paper it's printed on if you're serious about learning more than the very basics.

Virii, I don't own that book but given the above truth (which I've found to be almost universal) and my own experience one book is never enough.
I currently have a stack several meters (think 5+ and growing) high of programming books. Some are mainly references, some are seriously outdated and need replacement (like books about C++ 1.0 and an old MS DOS 3.2 BASIC programming manual) but many are useful still.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I'm reading "C++ Primer 4th edition" by Stan Lippman, Josee Lajoie, and Barbara Moo at the moment, it would be categorised as progression to intermediate level of C++ for someone with prior programming experience. Seems like a decent book so far (unlike the previous editions of C++ Primer, or so I've read from reviews at Amazon).

Absolute C++ by Walter Savitch is a pretty good book too. Thats the one that I used back in the days when I was a begginer (and that was a long long time ago).
