Books about C(C++) with the idea of porting apps from C to Java

Question

Could you recommend me some books on C and C++, that would be suitable for a Java developer? In JAVA most things look simple enough, and the Specification helps a lot but both C and C++ are full of features that make me dizzy. Not that I have absolutely no experience with C++, but it's far from enough.

I am especially interested in C books, as I might need to port some apps from C to JAVA and the OOP implementation in C looks quite bizarre to me. Classes in C++ are OK, but C seems to do the job with some other roundabouts that are quite unclear to me.

Is there a official C & C++ documentation (like the one Java's got)? And there are so many libraries that are often used that make deciphering C code even harder for me. I mean, for example, Win32 apps look different with all their typedefs and all.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can refer C book written by Ashok Kamthene.For c++ complete reference is the best.

Answer 2

The only official source of documentation is the actual language standard

(ISO/IEC 9899 for C and ISO/IEC 14882 for C++)

Draft versions are available here and here, but the final versions cost a few dollars.

They're not easily readable, but they're the only complete and authoritative description of the two languages.
