Beginner Books

[Mattiii]

Sorry if this is the wrong section, I'm new to registering to this forum.

I'm planning on starting to program again in C++ and this time I want to study it properly; before I studied from video tutorials which didn't give me much confidence.

The books I'm planning on getting are:

Accelerated C++ (by Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo)
This book will jog my memory and help me progress in the basics.

Effective C++ (by Scott Meyers)
This book will be the main book that I'll learn from.

Please give me some insight into if these are the right books and the right way to learn, or if there any other better books that I can learn from.

Thanks.

I personally like the dummies series (if your a complete beginner), i.e. C++ for dummies, they progress in a nice steady pace, but obviously this depends on your existing skills and it may teach you what you already know.

Anyway, this site is a good place to be if your learning, good tutorials and friendly people to help you.

I enjoyed the jumping into c++ book which you can find at http://www.cprogramming.com/ again this is a book on the basics. But I found it very well explained. Id also suggest taking a look here at some well yes video tutorials. But these are so in depth tutorials you will likely learn a lot as i did even after reading a basics book. http://www.computerscienceforeveryone.com/ they are targeted at C but most information can be applied to c++.

This website's tutorial is definitely worth a read in addition to whatever books you decide to go with.
