Info on c++ books

[Program.2000]

I'm learning c++ at home I have bought my first book Sam's Teach Yourself
C++ in 21 days. What kind of books do I need to read to learn more about
c++ then I already know? Thanks, Vitto.

For intermediate stuff you can try the excellent How to program c++ by Deitel
and Deitel.This is a reasonably well written book that covers most beginner
to intermediate level c++.It has an awfully large amount of exercises to
help you learn.
When you have worked your way through that have a look at Bjarne Stroustrops
The c++ programming language.This also has a generous amount of exercises
most of which are much harder than those in the previous book. If you work
through the exercises in these books I would imagine you would know c++ pretty
well by then.

I think you should move on to more serious stuff. Stroustrup's "The C++
Programming Language" is a must have for every C++ programmer. Though
parts of it may be a bit hard to swallow at first, this book will serve
for years and it's undoubtedly the ultimate resource for serious, real
world C++ programming. I wouldn't spend more time on primer books.

I agree with Danny. Stroustroup and both Scott Meyers books are classic.
Also to say "you would know c++ pretty well by then" after reading Stroustroup
is an overstatement. I was at a Scott Meyers seminar on STL and someone
asked where he saw himself on a scale of 1-10 as a C++ programmer, he replied
"8". That puts knowing C++ in perspective.
