I would have to disagree, the Sams Teach yourself books aren't very informative at all. I would recommend "The C Programming Language" - By K&R or "The C++ Programming Language" - By Bjarne Stroustrup if you are looking for *good* c/C++ books, always get the ones by the creator, or at least an Oreilly book. The sams books don't tell you very much at all in terms of 1. good example code or 2. learning path ie they have a weird order.
