The book from Bjarne Stroustrup (The C++ Programming Language) is
state of the art if you are not focused on a special subject.

Check out this thread on Slashdot:

In particular, I think the comment from foo fighter is what 
you're looking for:

As with anything on Slashdot, keep your wits about you with a 
healthy dose of skepticism.

There is very little that's unix specific in these books. As far as using C++
on unix goes, I would recommend learning some qt, and looking at all the
fine applications available in the ports tree, a lot of stuff based on qt
or kde is fairly decent, and highly interesting as far as modern C++ style
goes...


really?  i've barely touched qt, but i'd say its use of macros and
stringify is closer to horrifying.  it may be interesting, but imo
it's not a good way to learn c++, especially since it throws away the
benefits of static type checking.

now, if you want objective c, you know where to find it...



C++ Book

2007-06-25 Thread Danny
Good Day,

My apologies if this question has been asked a million times before. I want to
know if there is a good book out there to learn C++ on UNIX/Linux. I have
browsed Amazon but almost all the books available there are either Windows based
or they have very bad reviews.

I have been doing LAN web applications with PHP/Javascript/MySQL/Perl for some
time now, but now I need to get C++ under my belt for a particular client.

The reason I post here on misc@openbsd.org is because you guys normally give a
clear and objective view. (And because you guys are more intelligent :) ).

Thank You

Danny
