My vote for a good book to learn C++ is:
	C++ Primer Plus, Second Edition
	Author: Stephen Prata
	Publisher: Waite Group
	ISBN: 1-878739-74-3
I am a student learning C++ as my first programming language and this book
has made something similar to medieval torture almost fun. Look it over,
especially the index. Personal experience has taught me that a good index
is priceless. (Plus I think the book should only be about $35) This book
is really neat in that it teaches 'vanilla' C++, which means you don't
have to work hard to find a compiler that works with the programs in the
book (I have run most of the sample programs with DJGPP, and they're
fine). Well, nuf' said.

From the: slightly twisted, mostly masked, always misunderstood, usually
ignored, commonly asked to leave, occasionally funny, never quite right,
and morally flexible -rogol-
