With regard to C++ books, I'll just echo the advice here. Proper credit: vawjr, who now has this posted.
The following is also recommended.

The following books are recommended; read them in mostly the order listed.
- "Accelerated C++" Andrew Koenig & Barbara Moo
- "The C++ Standard Library" Nicolai Josuttis --- a "must have"
- "Effective C++", "More Effective C++", "Effective STL" Scott Meyers
- "Exceptional C++", "More Exceptional C++" Herb Sutter
- "The C++ Programming Language" 3rd edition or later Bjarne Stroustrup
- "Modern C++ Design" Andrei Alexandrescu
- "C++ Templates" Vandevoorde & Josuttis
- "Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales" Langer & Kreft
The following is also recommended.
C++ Coding Standards : 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best Practices, Herb Sutter, Andrei Alexandrescu

Time for a Big Bump.
I'd like to add a title or two as well, which even though not C++ specific should be required reading for any serious student (or practitioner) of software development.

Greetings, do they also cover gcc+ gtk+ and other Linux specific information?
I am new to this and want to start off right.
I have had Basic and Gbasic but no VB.
I use the KDE desktop and it has some nice dev tools. C++ and more.
thank you in advance.

"The C++ Programming Language" 3rd edition or later Bjarne Stroustrup
im currently reading this i recomend if you are serious about C++ only because its time consuming if you are just getting into this as a hobby get a smaller more focused book first (it also cost $70)

Im currently Reading
Beginning C++ Game Programming by Michael Dawson
I just started but I really like this book because it goes at an evne pase and after every program explains what each section of source code means does and why it does that.
Sam's Teach yourself C++ in 10 minutes by Jesse Liberty
This book takes you about 10 minutes for each lesson so its good if you are on a busy schedule but 4 me its goes really fast and the chapters are so short its hard to understand some thing. If I had not read Beginning C++ Game Programming first I would have been lost in this book.
*the compiler that comes with Beginning C++ Game Programming is one of the best ive seen.

Anyone any dealings with "C++ How To Program" 5th Edition? Work ordered it for me and I'm reluctant to use it if it would teach bad habits as has been suggested in one review that i have read
