    Cool Any advanced C++ books for me?

    So what books are going to help me break out of the beginners' ring.

    Some of you may recommend "The C++ Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup

    But I may not understand it as I am not an advanced C++ programmer who wants to knows the why's of C++.

    I need something more useful, like telling how to use typedef on function pointers, huh?, like telling more on templates, or multiple inheritance.

    Thanks.
    I'm a VB6 beginner.

    I was going to

    I have the 3rd edition. That book was my first C++ book... I know, not a good beginners choice. Well I learned my lesson...

    Would anybody recommend me some books/tutorials for beginners I really need to get the basic stuff down...

    I got one "Teach Yourself VC++5 in 21 days". That book suxs.For years, I thought OnOk() is the correct way to quit an MFC app.

    "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days" isn't any better.Only IMO.

    I hope they(Sams) have improved on their new editions.

    Sams TYS C++ in 21 Days is an excellent book. The Sams TYS Visual C++ on the other hand, is probably the worst book i ever bought...

    Upz.

    No response for advanced book?

    Frankly speaking, I seldom see any C++ advanced books in my local bookstore. Maybe, it doesn't stock them, sigh.....

    you can also read TYSC++ online here:

    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    A quick note as far as that goes, it uses the old iostream library.

    In any new code you should use the new library (the one without the .h at the end).

    Are you looking for specific C++ stuff to improve your technical knowledge, or more design stuff.

    Id recommend Design Patterns, or Code Complete if looking for design stuff.
