(third-edition) by Robert Lafore. It covered a good spectrum from
beginner concepts to STL, templates, object oriented programming and
design, data structures, etc.... I am not sure how well respected it is in the professional community but it got me started. I am looking at it now, it has quite
a bit of full examples. <br>
<br>Another way that may be useful to see examples and, at the same time, get some GUI experience with C++ is to play around with qt (trolltech.com). They have plenty of partial and full examples on the site. If working with qt, you may want to check out Kdevelop and QTdesigner together as an IDE (if you haven't already). Or use vi. Works either way.<br><br>$0.02<br><br>Damien<br><br><br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Mikhail Skobov <russianhippie666@gmail.com><br>To: Leif Johnson <leif.t.johnson@gmail.com><br>Cc: tclug <tclug-list@mn-linux.org><br>Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2007 2:43:55 PM<br>Subject: Re: [tclug-list] c++ help<br><br>i like the kind of book where you can use the examples to learn as well as the text because its easier for me that way<br><br>

It's a pretty good college-level getting started with C++ kinda book. I guess it depends on what style of book you are looking for.
