Any Good books for Learning C++ Help Me!!
If you never programmed, try C++ For Dummies, I heard it was good (ive never read it tho), but DONT buy C for Dummies:
It sucks ass.
I learned from a college book my dad got me (seriously). It
was written by John Hubbard but I dont remember the name.
Well thats my point of view

c++ for dummies is a pretty good book, but it assumes a knowledge of c, so that may hinder you.
the c++ programming language by bjarne stroustrup is a great book as well ( it better be, he made the language )

A good place to start would be free book sites:
http://www.itknowledge.com (under their "Free Archive" section)
and, to a lesser extent
http://www.informit.com (they used to be MUCH better until they adopted their crappy new format)
This way, you can see which books work the best for you and buy those (or just read them from online or snag them with a web spider, but I tend to like hard copy)

The book I recommend most is Who''s Afraid of C++. It''s really the best tutorial I''ve seen for folks who aren''t already familiar with C.
As an added bonus, it''s now free!

I reccamend the C++ by Bjarne Strousoup (spelled wrong..)! I mean, that author is the guy who created C++, so he would know it the best!

The book is The C++ Programming Language. While it is a comprehensive reference manual, it''s not for beginners. Someone starting out with the language or programming in general would be better off with a step-by-step tutorial.
