Re: C++ textbooks: recommendations?

["Simon Biles" <simon_(_dot_)_biles_(_at_)_gmail_(_dot_)_com>]

Have a look at :

Essential C++, Stanley B. Lippman, Addison-Wesley, ISBN: 0-201-48518-4
Accelerated C++, Andrew Koenig & Barbara E. Moo, Addison-Wesley, ISBN:
0-201-70353-X

They will get you programming faster than most books, which I personally
find is a good thing :-)

Good Luck.
