What books would you recommend for c++

[nickyc95]

Hi there,

Been following Elysian Shadows for a few years now but never came on the fourm.. until now.

I have been looking at all of the resources that people have recommended but a lot of the (especially books) seem to be very old and most likely outdated. For instance Sam's teach yourself c++ in 21 days was published in 2004, is the material in this book still relevant or will it be outdated now?

Anyway, can anyone recommend a few books for c++?

Thanks

"The C++ Programming Language" by Stroustroup is the obvious choice here. Classic text. The 4th edition (2013) incorporates C++11. Its really a manual, not a hold your hand book.

Don't worry much about age of the publication.

The Holy Scott Meyers Triad (Effective C++, More Effective C++ and Effective STL) is also recommended after you've got the basics down. They're from the mid-90's, but most advices still apply today.

The only book I've used is C for Dummies.
It's good if you have learned C yet as I would suggest learning it before C++.
