Interesting. That article does not even have a passing mention of what I personally consider to be the best introductory book on C++. http://www.acceleratedcpp.com/
The current professional community consensus seems to be that, for introductory C++, the best four books are Accelerated C++, C++ Primer, Thinking in C++, and Programming: Principles and Practice.
But as soon as you're able to make sens of it, get all the books in the Effective C++ and Exceptional C++ series as well
