One such thread: What are the best books on Programming C++[^]

There are all too many good C++ books today, to list them here, but so you know, the books on C++ are ones by Bjarne Stroustrup[^], who was and still is like Messiah in the C++ world. You can't miss, if you start with his books, it is the only right way to enter the world of C++.

I personally spent 18 years with C++ so far, and I still love the language better then any other, even though the times forced me to move to other languages, I still return to C++ every so often.

Good luck to you in this interesting and exciting journey! ;)

OK lemme give you a list of books. Firstly the list is big and to get most out of it don't jump to next book unless you are completely done with first one. I mean all concepts understood and implemented at least once.

1. C++ Primer(Lipmam) - beginner
2. The C++ programming language(Stroustrup) - the bible
3. Effective C++ (Scott mayers) - intermediate
4. More effective C++(Scott mayers) - advanced
5. Exceptional C++(Herb sutter) - intermediate
6. More exceptional C++(Herb sutter) - advanced
7. C++ Faqs(marshal cline) - quick review
8. C++ Idioms (James coplien) - Very advanced

along with this visit Herb sutter's blog and GOTW site regularly. This site will give you pretty awesome stuff.

Once you are done with this list you can work in any kind of C++ project. assuming that you will sincerely follow and grasp all the concepts.

+5 for the question BTW. you reminded me of my old days. I could only finish upto number 7.

See: Stroustrup homepage: http://www2.research.att.com/~bs/homepage.html

Quickly:
First (beginners): "Programming: principles and practice using c++" (Stroustrup)
Then (a must): “The C++ programming language” Third Edition (Stroustrup)
Actualize to C++11: http://www2.research.att.com/~bs/C++0xFAQ.html

It is helpful to see some time how the Standard looks (not to really full-read unless you are a compiler developer): „Standard for Programming Language C ++11“. For example, the free http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2012/n3376.pdf

Rahul Rajat Singhs' list is excellent, but I would like to add Stanley B. Lippmans'
Inside the C++ Object Model[^]

C++ primer plus or thinking in c++

Your best bet is really practice... reading without practicing what you're reading will only do you so much good. I don't know how many book smart people I've met that couldn't build anything practical in a reasonable amount of time.

If you practice as you go, you'll understand not only what the terms and concepts are but how to use them in a practical sense. Good luck learning! :)

thinking in C++, you can find it Here[^]
