I taught from C++ How to Program by Deitel & Deitel and found it to be a good book.
Anything from O'Reilly is typically gold. As has been mentioned, there is also the book written by the creator of the language. All in all, I recommend going to a book store and looking through the suggested books and see which one speaks to you most. best regards, Reid Nichol --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > i need to learn C++, but do not know where to begin with textbooks or > online > docs. since, AFAICT, there are a great many skilled programmers on > list, i would > appreciate any recommendations that can be made about introductory > and > intermediate texts on C++. > > my motivation for asking this is to avoid purchasing texts that will > sit on my > shelf and collect dust. there are a great many introductory texts on > nearly > every subject that do just that and/or don't cover enough material in > sufficient > depth. > > are there any texts on best practices for writing exploit-free code? > if you feel > this is insufficiently openbsd related, please reply off-list to > reduce chatter. > > cheers, > jake Tired of spam?
