It depends. I think it covers almost everything about C++ but the exercises are not easy. In places it goes too fast and I cant follow it. I'm thinking of getting another book to be honest. I have looked at "Jumping into C++" by Alex Allain which moves at a slow pace. But if you are a fast learner the primer might be ok for you

Yes - you will be fine with it If you take it slowly it's a good book. Definately worth the price. It's just that I got a bit lost after part 1 as I tried too hard to speed up my learning.

Along with this website, I also use usenet. There are some really good newsgroups for C++. Have a look at comp.lang.C++ or comp.lang.c++.moderated - you need a newsreader like thunderbird or pan and you need to set it up with your isp's newserver though.
On the newsgroups there are lots of c++ experts that will help you out.

my favorite book is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Out-Early-Objects-Edition/dp/013336092X
The 7th edition is also good and a lot cheaper.
