The Definitive C++ Book Guide and List
Hi everyone,
I am a high school student looking for a good book on C++. I already know Java, and I have C++ for dummies, but that book doesn't really do a great job at explaining important things (such as pointers, Memory Managment, etc...). I wouldn't really call myself at an intermediate level of experience in C++ until I learned these things, therefore I seem to be looking for a beginners book
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Beginning C++ Game Programming . Curiously this book is rather useless for game programming (unless you want to write a console based poker game, as it doesn't cover graphics or anything like that), but as a C++ learning book it is incredibly useful and easy to follow by the end you'll understand all the mayor features of C++ and how to use the standard library effectively as well as pointers and templates, so its a rather good deal.
Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo. Good introduction to the language by two pros AND starts out with modern C++ techniques (instead of first teaching C, then teaching C++ after all that's done)
