Hi,
My background is C# and Java knowledge.
For participating in a big project for 2 years, I need to know C++.
Is there any book to kick start from C# or Java background to C++?
Thanks in advance!

Accelerated C++ is a great book in this case, but nothing really bridges the gap from managed to unmanaged IMHO

It's far more typical to go in the other direction.
I'd say you should find the best C++ book there is and don't worry about finding something that assumes Java or C# to start. Fill in your own blanks when it comes to memory management, etc.
This is the highest-rated C++ book on Amazon.
I'd recommend something by Stroustrup or Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C++".

C++ for Java Programmers by Mark A. Weiss , Effective C++: and Accelerated C++: Practical Programming by Example are really good.

+1. Throw in Effective STL too. Although, a little too advanced for a newbee, its a quintessential read for any developer wanting to develop in C++.
