[ThinkFree]

Please provide name of some good books(paper+e-books) for learning C++ for a B.Tech student.

Professional C++ (WROX, by N. Solter and S. Klepper) if you know C. I am yet to find a better book.
Practical C++ (O' Reilly) is good too.

^^Would I be able to find these in most of the bookstores. Or they would be available in only 5-6 shops in the city? If possible tell where can I find these in Delhi

@asnvin,

Delhi? You might get it in any moderately big computer book store. You can get it in Landmark or Corssword also.

Hi Ashvin,

Did you check this thread first?

Free Resources for Learning Programming

It has links to all free and quality resources for learning programming and some are the best in class.

Let me know if you still have any query.

[Roadripper]

yeah WROX and Oreilly are the best... forget Yashwant kanitkar and balguruswamy ..

LOL

I'd recommend Accelerated C++ from Addison Wesley for someone who has a little idea of programming and wants to get neck-deep into "Standard" C++ real fast.

[Quiz_Master]

I always recommend C++ Primer Plus.

The complete learning guide it is.... Easy to get in a bookstore...
The example given in it and the language is so easy that even a n00b (like me for example) can understand it....

Thanks for all the replies.

Must read are

LIPPMAN - best book from basics to advanced stuff.
STROUSTROUP - C++ inventor.

What about: C++: The Complete Reference, By Herbert Schildt

[aditya.shevade]

It is a good book, but not very good. Best way to know is read some reviews on amazon. As far as I know, that book is not much good for learning. It is, as the name suggests, a reference, once you master the language.

C++ How to Program by Dietel & Dietel is what I'm reading.. its superb...

[j1n M@tt]

"Let Us C++" by Yashavant Kanethar is a gud book for understanding the concepts.........but not gud for theory papers in B.Tech, since their is no definitions and stuffs like dat.....he explains the C++ OOP concepts in a chatting like manner through examples.
