I won't say it's a terrible source of information, but it's not the greatest, as it misses some information that should definitely be mentioned.
A good book with a good reputation, such as "The C++ Programming Language", or "C++ Primer", will teach you good practices. In addition, books such as "Effective C++", or "Exception C++", will teach you the ups and downs or different practices, as well as teaching you to be a better programmer in general.
Stay safe out there -- there're many books that are just waiting to teach you bad practices.

I took note of this early thank goodness, I just don't understand why C++ allows you to make bad habits. Anyway I am new and there's probably an infinite way of using C++ so I can imagine it would take more than a lifetime to make something like "auto-correct" options.. hehe
I guess I will lock myself in my room and try to stay away from those bad habits, but I am almost sure to pick up some of those habits. I will just have to allow myself to get better and understand why they are bad later and then reject them from my brain.
