So i was thinking of buying a C++ book as a refrence, which one do you guys recommend?

[davidthefat]

Even though expensive, this is the best IMO 1000 pages of pure info


C++ Complete Reference by Herbert-Schildy

[WingedPanther]

The C++ Programming Language 3rd Edition (By Bjarne Stroustrup).

Depends on your level of expertise. If you are a beginner a book aimed toward beginners is the best. I like this book C++ Primer, 4th Edition (ISBN: 0-201-72148-1). Its a good book for beginners.

For references the book that WingedPanther said is a good choice.
ISBN-13: 978-0201700732

Yea, first 300 or so pages is about C and a section on the differences in C and C++ and the rest is C++

I cant send PMs yet

Ok, i think im goin to go with "C++ Complete Reference by Herbert-Schildy"

There are many C++ reference books. You'll have to find one that suits your current skills level. Perhaps, you might want to check out the ACCU book reviews.

I dont think its an ok beginner book but you can also look into

Bruce Eckel's MindView, Inc: Thinking in C++ 2nd Edition by Bruce Eckel

I'm currently going through 'Accelerated C++' by Andrew Koenig and Barbara E. Moo , it's a pretty good book for beginners.

FrozenSnake, do you have the book yourself though?

I'm Currently reading C++ Primer I think it's a great reference with really clearexamples about all kinda starter stuff, But my first choice would go out to Beginning C++ game programmming by Michael Dawson, everything is told so clear. but it won't go in detail on every subject but it does teach you how to use programming when you make a real application, just let you see how you must think when making an application, and you can make fun games whil you're studying.

So I think when you read C++ Primer and Beginning C++ game programming you got a really really solid basic
