K & R is a good book. For C++, Absolute C++ was my textbook last semester and I found it to be pretty good. Avoid the Deitel & Deitel C++ book. It has a few good reference chapters but covers material in a very choppy way. Practical C++ programming from O'Reilley is a good book on C++ basics. It covers I/O and syntax well, but does not get into the OO elements of the language as much as one would like.
Avoid the C++ Programing Language. Although the book was written by the author of C++, it is NOT a good reference. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
