Free collection of C++ books

This is a collection of books I found online, zipped, and uploaded for people to use and so I would always have it should I need it. I think there are about 28 books in all. Everything from beginner guides to C++ programming, to the more advanced guides, and some very good referances.

No spam, no viruses, no adds, no nothin. Just a zipped collection. asc11.net is my domain, but sorry nothin there to look at atm.

The first book, when sorted a-z, is my favorate. Everything is clean and simple to understand. It really makes learning easy.

Hi

Are these books legal? I would like to start to learn C++ but I don't want to break the law.

If you want starting learning C++ you could try the language tutorials

Bazzy, that looks great. Is there a way to download that tutorial for offline use? Also, I have personally looked through those books and I found one that I know is free but the rest look like there are not free. So, unfortunately, I deleted the whole lot.

To be honest with y'all, I don't know if they are free and legal. Sorry, I just didn't
Think about it when I posted. I found all of these books online and they were free
To me... I see it like a library. Go in, read/borrow a book, let taxes pay for it.

All of these books are a few years old, please look them up if you have any legal
Concerns. Could you post or PM me if you find anything? Thank you

I would just like to mention that once you are comfortable with C++ syntax, the following books are EXTREMELY helpful. They are not expensive; you can find used textbooks online fairly cheap, but they are a very good investment.

Effective C++ by Scott Meyers - very short book of nothing but helpful tips

Design Patterns by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides - easily the most valuable book on my shelves

Generic Programming and the STL by Matthew H. Austern - helpful for not only learning the STL but also describes the concepts that it is built upon

Thanks for the replies and the book recommendations. I'll hunt around at the used book stores. Also, I just notice that the tutorial on this site has a new "Download as pdf" button. That is great!
