Exclamation C++ books needed (names)
Hi

Can someone please tell me any good book on C++. One that has good language, covers C under linux or is written specially for linux programming, has plenty examples with good explanation and very less grammar errors and good language is important....

One of my friends suggested "C++ complete reference" by Herbert Schildt. But on ACCU, that book has been reviewed as pretty bad. Another is C++ Primer. Which one to go for? Any other names?

I tried Balagurusamy and I hate that book. It sucks (IMO it sucks).

Aditya

Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel is a great book (also available for free download as a pdf at http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/...ngInCPP2e.html site)

I dont know weather it has anything of Linux, but the best C++ book I came across is called "Turbo C++" by Robert Lafore.

A single book can't teach every concept clearly,u need to apply the features of languages and learn new thing.Learn C++ and MFC simultaneously.

'learn c++ in 21 days'. trust me this is a good book. the language is exactly as you want. its like a person is actually teaching it to u. the exercises at the end of each day are good. i think the 5th edition is out. but it has nothing to do with C under linux.

C++ complete refernce is a very good book if you only want to understand the theory part.Does not have c under linux though.

one more vote for C++ book by Robert Lafore....
C++ How to program by Deitel & Deitel is not a bad choice either..

C++ complete reference if you don't have any knowledge at all about C. C++ Primer if you have tried your hands at C... Both books are great. See amazon for readers ratings of these books. They are 4.5/5

Aaarrghhh... you people dug up an OLD thread. I am using Practical C++ from O'Reily and Professional C++ from Wrox. Both books are great for improving your coding style. NOT FOR LEARNING. They are too advanced if you want to learn C++. Use the books referred above in that case.

Another vote for Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel. His writing style is awesome, he explains every important concept in great detail and takes care to build a solid foundation.

You can also give Accelerated CPP a try. But I would highly reccomend Thinking in C++. Heck the ebook is free. So try it out.
