Curious to know what people are using to learn C++ right now.
I'm using Deitel C++ How to Program 7/e and use MS Visual Studio 2010 for my ide. I really like the way that this books breaks down the components of what good programmers do and why.
What are you using?

I am using "Programming Principles and Practice using C++" by Bjarne Stroustrup. I am regretting using this book because it is not for beginning programmers even though Stroustrup says it is. I read several online tutorials, including the one on this site, and thought I knew enough fundamentals to hang with this book. Well, classes and constructors are killing me. It is taking me a long time to understand how to apply them to various problems.
A Complete Guide to Programming in C++
By Ulla Kirch-Prinz, Peter Prinz
Started with it a few weeks ago, so far I can only recommend it, although knowledge of at least the fundamentals in C before reading the book is recommended.
