Hi
I want to ask you something
I have read the book two times in C + + programming language(Bjarne stroustrup).
now I want to read the following books
which I should start first?

Before you read these books.Do you want to recommending another book?

What else should I learn that To be a good programmer in C++?
Sample: As database...

thanks for reading...

Effective STL
Effective C++
More Effective C++
Design Patterns

Actually like what some posters say, just reading and understanding does not make you a *good* programmer. It is only through constant practice like maintaining/enhancement on legacy code and writing new code that will make you a more *better* programmer.

I don't like to use the word "good" cuz it is very subjective. Furthermore, I still feel I have a lot more to learn due to the vast-ness and depth-ness of C++ in comparison to Java.

i 'm not agree with sohguanh;
read (how programming with c++ Deitel)
it is a basical book for c++;
surly,read this book

thanks you.

if you want to be a real programmer, you should not stick with some random language, and you should learn how the operating system works, how the compilers/interpreters/assemblers work.. etc. some mathematical background can help you a lot.
i dont know about those books. i just used sams C++ in 24 hours for learning the basics of C++ and sams C in 24 hours for learning C. those books provide the most basic things. after that, i just use the resources on the internet.
if you want to know about the OS, read Operating System Concepts ( Dinosaur book)..

how ever, when you are following any book that you like, remember to do experiments with that knowledge, or else it will not really go into the mind...

Practise Makes Perfect..

cheers..

tahnk you.
but,
in the last sentence is absolutely right.
Reading books is very useful.

Hi chathura666, try to see if there is sams C++ STL in 24 hours. C++ STL really save a lot of time for you and you get to learn templates programming.

PS Btw STL is part of Standard C++ so all recent C++ compilers should support it.

@sohguanh
hehe... i dont know about your programming skills but i never thought you were a good joker...

i must say, please stop trying to make a joke out of me... this forum is for c++ and i hope you are aged to some experience of maturity to understand that this is the wrong place for your jokes....

there are rules in the forum, please read them before posting again.

thank you..

@chathura666
That was quite inappropriate.
You probably misunderstood something, otherwise I can't see why you act offended for no particular reason.

[chathura666]

OK, i am so sorry if i misunderstand what he said.. its because we dont see each other in the eye, we just see the words we type in here, and people can read them in different ways, with different minds, in different accents...
i was thinking that he is doing it to mock at me..

hey sohguanh,
i am sorry to say such words man.. i am not a rude guy or a man who quarrels every time.. its just maybe i was in a bad mood last night.. normally i am a very friendly and sensitive person.. i think it was just a bad time... i am sorry...

and thanks Athar, for telling me the way you see it.. otherwise i would not even look at this thread again...

thanks..

Hi chathura666, it is ok. Basically what I am trying to say is I know you like C a lot but at least for once are you open to the idea of C++ STL ? It open up another realm of programming possibilities.

You can still swear by C which is fine with me also. I feel I want to introduce you to something I feel is worth learning IMO :)

Thanks all...
