C++ Books

[gothic_type]

Hi,

Part of my Uni course this year is a project, and I've chosen to do a "port" of the flex/bison partnership using Spirit (I'm guessing that's a very limited explanation of what's involved, but at the moment I've not investigated it thoroughly).

What I would like is if someone could recommend a good book that I can use to learn C++. It doesn't need to be a "For Dummies"-style teach yourself book or anything like that, in fact I'd prefer it wasn't. What I'm looking for is something that I can use as a reference that deals with advanced C++. If not, I guess I'll just learn as I code.

Thanks in advance,

ac

Have you tried "C++ How to Program" by Deitel, I have a old copy of this book somewhere and remember it was very easy to follow, and even has an ongoing self study throught the book where you design a elevator simulator.

[EDIT]Looks like The Grunt beat me to it [/EDIT]

But anyway have you looked at the book reviews by ACCU, I found them very usfull

I've been tring to find time to finish reading Ivor Horton's Begining C++. I dont know how it stacks up to other books, but I asked the handfull of coders I know and they recomended it as a starting point.

My two cents
