Whats a recomended C ++ book for a beginner?

Well, this really depends at what level of programming you are
currently at and also if you want to learn Visual C++ or C++. Here is
what I recommend for you:

Since the best book for myself might not be the best for you, take a
look at this URL: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/3966/1/104-5189076-7170354?rank=%2Breviewrank&submit.x=12&submit.y=11

That has Introductions to C++ (ignore the books on C) in the order
that customers rated the books. The books that have the most positive
ratings are the ones listed at the beginning. Take the time to read
through the descriptions of at least the first 15 and also read some
of the customer reviews.

If you do require want a specific recommendation, I would go for this
one: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0072225351/qid=1051851333/br=1-6/ref=br_lf_b_6//104-5189076-7170354?v=glance&s=books&n=3966
I believe that the pace of this book is great for a beginner, and I
also believe that it is easier to learn about creating objects,
inheritance etc. once some of the easier concepts have been mastered.
Other people would say it is better to dive right into creating
ojbects, but I do not think C++ is a good language for this approach.
Java is a much better language for teaching object oriented
programming.

Please let me know if you require any clarification regarding this
answer. I will do my best to further assist you as soon as possible.

Here's a great book to check out.  A bit dated tho.

This book is awesome. It's a bit expensive, but its worth every penny.

Deitel and Deitel are a great series of books.

There's a book named "Thinking in C++, 2nd edition", by bruce eckel.
This book, can be found freely available online, in PDF format, at the
authors' company website:
http://mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html

Or you can buy it, if you prefer a printed version through favorite
book store, i.e amazon.


Notice that the author's website contains also a book on java. It
might help you out to grasp even better the concepts of Object
Oriented Programming (OOP) if you haven't made it this far.

Hope it helps
