Hi All,<br>A very off topic question, but i figured it would be a good place to ask<br>the question:<br><br>What would be a good book to learn c++?<br><br>If people could recommend books that they've learnt from i'd really
<br>appreciate it...<br>Any input very much appreciated.<br>Oh or if there are websites people could recommend, i'm more than happy to<br>hold onto my money! ;-)<br><br>Cheers All, and Thanks in Advance....<br><br></blockquote>
</div><br>As an expert, well I have written > 500K C++ lines, I can say I learned C in school but my C++ was nearly entirely <br>self taught by actually writing code and also by reading articles on the web. I started out with the very basic MFC
<br>code and learned about classes and then as I have worked in the field I have increased my knowledge of the language <br>with each new project I have done. Being the only developer on most of my projects I typically write 20K to 50K
<br>completely new lines at the start of a project in about 3 to 5 months then slow down as maintanace begins. But to <br>answer your question I really do not have any one single c++ book that I can recommend. I can however recommend a
<br>c++ site that has a large wealth of information. It is a windows site however: <a href="http://www.codeproject.com">www.codeproject.com</a> <br><br>John<br>
