Best book to learn C++?

Dec 1, 2012 at 3:08am
I am looking for a good C++ programming book to teach me the basics as well as point me in the right direction to more advanced coding. So far I have looked at a book called C++ Primer. There is many editions of this book, but the one I found at chapter was the 6th edition plus. Whats the difference between the 5th edition?

Programming: Principles And Practice Using C++
Currently reading this, Its made by Bjarne Stroustrup (I Think That's How You Spell)
He's the inventor of C++ :P

I personally prefer "Jumping into C++" By Alex Allain. Its a very good ebook that I am using at the moment to learn C++. I also use youtube videos and C++ for dummies on the side for additional help.

Here's My Reccomendations:

C++ Primer 5th & 6th Edition

These books I would recommend to a newbie like myself! And there available online in pdf format!!
So what if your tired of reading books?

The pdf versions are illegal and I think it shows little respect to the creator of c++, and the person that wrote C++ primer. The real version is also better to read through because it is easier to find something you forgot in the earlier chapters.

Alright thanks guys, I think i'll be buying the C++ Primer 6th edition. Its a lengthy 1k pages, so i'm pretty sure it will keep me occupied for quite some time.
