C++ Book help!!!

[kong288]

Hello everyone. Im new at C++ ( I know what cin/cout/if commands/and only the while and do loop is) Soo you could call me super new. Oh and I made like a circle game with allegro. Anyways! Im sick of the bad internet tut's! There SO BAD! Can anyone tell me about a good C++ video game book? Like teaching me C++ while making video game's? Oh and it would have to use modern compiler's. I want to use VS2010 no matter what, so around there. Thx soo much!

VS2010 is the complier? Visual Studio 2010 C++?

First learn the generic basics than focus your studies.

How would you make an entire car from scratch if you can't build an engine?

[kong288]

Thats true. Know any good books on just C++? Modern Compiler's please. :)

I liked C++ Without Fear, get the 9th edition or any newer if available...

It explains things in a simple easy to understand manner.

I've only found two things that weren't up to date in it, and it was nothing major..

Is that it? :P

That's almost it. That's the second edition you must get at least 9th.

So this is it:

Bit that came out in 04', and the second was 11'. Wouldn't the '11 be better? Just asking.

I'm currently learning from this one

http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Principles-Practice-Using-C/dp/0321543726

and I think it's awesome.

Yeah, the second edition seems to be the current one. Regardless, reading the first review convinces me that you should stay away from that book.

I haven't read "Principles and Practice Using C++", but judging from the superb quality of "The C++ Programming Language", it's fairly safe to say that this book is also a good one.

Another excellent beginner book is the "C++ Primer" (4th edition).
