What books would you recommend for C++

[Ch1156]

I want to buy some more C++ books. Ones that teach good programming form and explain things well.

I currently have Jumping Into C++ by Alex Allain who runs the cprogramming forum. and Professional C++ 3rd Edition by Marc Gregoire.

Professional C++ fifth edition is coming out on the 24th of this month and I want to get it.

does anyone have any opinions of these two books? I already own them but I want to know what others think of them if they have read them.

Thanks!

The book from Marc Gregoire I can recommend.
Another good book is C++17 - The Complete Guide by N.Josuttis.

Professional C++ is recommended.

(Scott Myers has also published several earlier books on C++. Whilst still useful, some of the contents is now out of date as referring to C++98)

I recommend Pearson's "C++ Early Objects" by Gaddis, Walters and Muganda. Get the latest edition, I believe it is the 10th or 11th. I have the 9th and it doesn't have anything newer than C++11, unfortunately. I plan to get a newer one as soon as I have the available budget for it.

[seeplus]

I think the latest is the 10th published Feb 2019 which covers C++17. However IMO it's vastly overpriced (£98 !).

For learning C++, my recommendation is "Beginning C++20: From Novice to Professional" by Ivor Horton (£36 ).

How much is 98 pounds in US dollars? I think its like $150 on the Pearson website.

Amazon - Gaddis $154, Horton $41

Amazon overcharges for everything. It's cheaper on the Pearson website:
https://www.pearson.com/store/p/starting-out-with-c-early-objects/P100002716184/9780135862391

Only $137.59...but it's a really good resource, and it comes with example programs you can download!
