1) Paperback Book C++ Primer Plus (5th Edition) by Sams. With this book, Stephen Prata has written an indispensable guide to the C++ programming language. Through its seventeen chapters, the author takes a reader from the most basic elements of C++ all the way to more advanced topics such as linked lists, function pointers, templates, and more.

The book is laid out so that it is easy to "start where you need to": if you are a newcomer to C++, start in Chapter 1. If your skills are more advanced, scan through the chapters to find where your knowledge is lacking or your confidence in your skills in that area is weak. (However, even the more advanced programmer may wish to at least do the programming exercises at the end of each chapter, as they do provide an excellent review).

One thing I found refreshing was Mr. Prata´s style in writing. In a book this size on a topic of this nature, it would be easy for the material to be dry. Sadly, many programming books are exactly that and can make the study process tedious at best. However, Mr. Prata (Dr. Prata? Forgive me for using the incorrect title if he is a Ph.D.) approaches the topic with a refreshing humor that is lacking in books of this genre. Also, the end of chapter programming exercises are well thought out and very relevant to the material contained in the chapter.

This book is by no means an exhaustive treatment of C++, particularly as pertains to such advanced topics as error and exception handling, STL classes, and templates, and the author says as much at the end of chapter 17. However, a book that WAS an exhaustive discourse on all that C++ offers would more closely resemble a set of encyclopedias.

By all means, I would recommend C++ Primer Plus to ANYONE who programs in C++, would like to learn, or would like to learn more about this powerful language.¤

2) Paperback Book C++ Primer Plus (5th Edition) by Sams. I have read quite a few books on c++ but this one by far is the best i´ve read. I don´t think it´s possible for a better book to come out. Stephen Prata is an excellent teacher, and after reading this have a strong, very deep understand of the language. Great examples, code has been flawless, and even brings humor to the table. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

3) Paperback Book C++ Primer Plus (5th Edition) by Sams. C++ Primer Plus is a very good manual with an easy language. It is recommended for a first approach to C++ and also for more experienced programmers.
There are a lot of illuminating examples and all the details are explained.
Not only the language, but also the philosophy of C++ is described in a very comprehensible way.
It is both a useful fellow when you are programming and an entertaining book.¤

4) Paperback Book C++ Primer Plus (5th Edition) by Sams. This book is great. This really breaks down C++ programming into easily manageable steps. It´s better than any programming book that I have purchased in the past. Just like with anything that you want to learn you are going to have to spend some time with it. If you want to learn the basics and start coding today, then this book is for you!¤

5) Paperback Book C++ Primer Plus (5th Edition) by Sams. I learned more in this book, and more in depth, in a chapter then I have in any other resource for C++.(Don´t worry, I have read much more then just a chapter.) Prata will cover everything from how large a data type is in memory to the most advanced topics like inheritance, and all very well explained! I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn C++.¤
