Well, through the gaming aspect of things the book

Beginning C++ Through Game Programming, Third Edition is excellent.

And even though it is gaming, I learned many things in other aspects as well. It's probably because it gives incidents where you would use the stuff in real life.

I suggest you take a look at "Beginning Programming with C++ for dummies"
Its really helping me learn, its very descriptive, and gives real-life examples.

Its a slow paced book, but very descriptive. The only down side - its short compared to most C++ books(around 400 pages) So it leaves some things out. (strings for example)

But i think its a great place to start.

I think you should read C++ Primer 5th Edition (Lippman, Lajoie, and Moo) because it is rewritten for c++11.
not the 6th edition
(C++ Primer Plus 6th Edition (Prata) is thoroughly outdated (except for the cover, which claims that there is C++11 inside).)

Cubbi's take on the book: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/104737/#msg564798

Chillieman, I definitely agree it's very helpful for learning, and I basically have the basics down just using that book. On the subject of it being short, it's part of a series on C++ so I got the C++ all-in-one for dummies that includes 7 books. Hope this helps.
