C++ Books
Recently I have developed an interest in c++ and started studying it. Now I have finished with Accelerated C++ book and I am not sure about how to proceed from here. Any suggestions about which books should I refer next would be much appreciated.
I am sort of borderline beginner/intermediate, i was told to read Accelerated C++ then Effective C++ to help me improve, the same may work for you. Also i am pretty sure that the last chapter lists some good books, i guess you could read them.

Yeah, I think using that as a starting point can help, or you can check the authors of the book you just finished and see if they have any other further works on more indepth C++
there's multiple lists of good books out there.
effective series
exceptional series
Hacker's Delight

Thanks for the response guys. Was thinking about Modern C++ design. What do you guys think about this book? What does it focus on?
Is that that huge ass book?
IDK dude... if that's that huge ass book... hell no. Big books are usually worse. Accelerated c++ was like 200 pages, very dense and good... My first c++ book was a piece and it was 600 pages... Although it was kinda a laymans book... even know it didn't define simple things.

just HERBERT SCHILDT

you should read the online c++ faq lite as well. i am impressed with the information that is on there i was thinking of getting the book its based off of. there is alot to read though just through the faq.

Hmm, I was thinking of a c book, "C programming: A modern approach". It's huge... but contrary to what I though, it's highly recommended on Amazon. Although every book has 4 starts on amazon for some reason.
Modern C++ Design is a great book but it's not for beginners (and arguably isn't for intermediates either). Save that and the template metaprogramming one until last.
Start with C++ Coding Standards, I think that's the best book I have ever read. Follow that up with the exceptional books; they're also very, very good.

Herbert Schildt has a terrible reputation. Do not read anything by Schildt.
He has a very clear, readable writing style. Unfortunately, he makes many errors and teaches things that simply are not true.

I apologise for hijacking your thread, i was advised to read effective C++, i have two questions:
- is effective C++,effective?
- would effective C++ prepare me for The C++ Programming Language?
I am sorry for hijacking the thread (again)

- Yes
- Not really. There's nothing to stop you from reading The C++ Programming Language but you will encounter a lot of jargon. It's what you would expect from reading a standard.
