C++ Book to follow K&R

Question

Possible Duplicate:
The Definitive C++ Book Guide and List

I have finally got round to reading K&R, and it is by far the best (programming) book I ever expect to read. It is compact and lucid. It is nectar for my logic centre. The examples are concise, and useful. Moreover they do not contain the words 'boss' and 'employee'. Every question is answered the moment it appears on the periphery of my awareness.

Is there is some text of comparable excellence for C++? Preferably with minimal overlap...

Answer 1

Try "The C++ Programming Language, Special Edition" by Bjarne Stroustrup. He's the creator of C++

Answer 2

Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel is quite good. He exhibits a clear writing style with good examples that help the reader digest the nuances of C++.

Furthermore, it's free:

Answer 3

I recommend you C++ How to Program, 5/E

Answer 4

I would recommend Scott Meyers Books. Effective C++ is especially insightful.

Answer 5

Yes. sure =) If you're in search I think you are I'd recommend reading Jeff Elgers's "C++". It's a bit outdated, yet takes you to such a depth that will never get old. The best C++ book ever known is "The C++ programming language" by Bjarne. And he has recently written a study book on programming in general, using C++ as a main language. If you think, you understand C++ already, read "C++ programming standards" by Satter and Alexandrescu, and use every advice they give. All the other books on C++ merely cite some parts of these AFAIK.
