I will also look into the book you suggested, thanks again.

KevinM1 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Get the Thinking in C++ books. They're great. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/255182-c-tutorial-suggestions/#findComment-1308437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Get the Thinking in C++ books. They're great. Those books were recommended by one of my friends as well, will definitely need to purchase it/them. I'm assuming it is a several book series?

thehippy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 If you want to move on beyond basic programming in C++ and get to using the features I would suggest The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup. I always had trouble with the concepts of the core C++ abstractions and Bjarne's explanations I found the best. The only critique I have about the book is that the writing is a bit dry and academic. If you take the authors involvement with the language though he presents insights that you rarely get with other programming books.

At least, there were two when I bought them a few years ago.

As much as anyone can be the creator of C++, he was the first to create an implementation of it. C++ of course grew quite rapidly, has been standardized and has many extensions added which Bjarne participated with as part of the standards committee.
