- :
- : * C++ Programming lang , Stroustrup
- Excellent, but students often tell me they can't understand it!
-
- : * C++ Primer, Lippman
- Good, covers templates etc. Quite complete.
-
- : * Using C++ , Eckel
- Used to be a good book, but outdated now (covers up to 2.1 only)
-
- : * Programming in C++ , Stark & Denhurst.
- A nice introductory text.
-
- All opinions are my own personal prejudices though...
