Hello all. I'm a "good" programmer. I know Haskell, OCaml, and other functional languages very well. I know also Smalltalk, Objective-C, and other OO languages. I spend my time on LtU, I know a fair amount about programming language theory and compiler design, and above all, I'm, ahem, incredibly brilliant.
That said, I'm also hungry, and I need a well-paying job. I'd rather not be doing web dev. So... What is the best book for me to get a solid knowledge of C++ as soon as possible? I don't want something that takes things slow, nor do I want something that tries to be "pragmatic". Rather, I want a relatively complete understanding of the language that I can go confidently into an interview with.
Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
