C++ Books

I'm trying to teach myself everything I need to know about developing software in C++.  I already know the bare basics of the language, but I was wondering if you could recommend me some good programming books that would help bring up my understanding of writing applications.  This is my first programming language so anything that you think would help that might just be general programming concepts would be nice too.  Thank you.

Well, I have a newsflash -- it's no longer the 1970's, and there are languages that save you most of the manual labour that 'C' leaves you with.  C++ just being one of them.

There are languages that save you most of the manual laboor [sic] C leaves you with, but Sepples is not one of them. All Sepples does is add another layer of incoherent, poorly thought-out bullshit you have to work around. It creates more work, not less.

laboor
>>13-san spelled it labour, which is the correct spelling unless you're a dumb American. Why would you spell it incorrectly and then add a [sic]?

you do know what ``[sic]'' means, don't you[sup][i][b]?/b][/i][/sup]

I'm saying he added the spelling mistake to add the sic, which is pointless.

You're dense.

The first good step, if you want to understand how C++ works, is to focus your attention on C. Once you know C as yourself, you can start to work on C++.

You may appreciate the "C++ annotations" project, that you can find at http://www.icce.rug.nl/docs/cplusplus/cplusplus.html or by installing the "c++-annotations" package on your debian/ubuntu GNU/Linux distribution (the package installs it in /usr/share/doc/c++-annotations/ directory).

Once you have read enough on this book, you may even understand why C++ is *not* a good choice for software development. I agree with Linus Torvalds on this point.

It crossed my mind earlier today that if Sepples dropped the whole "methods inside of classes" thing and integrated its method dispatch with its generics implementation, it would be slightly less terrible.

It crossed my mind earlier today that if Sepples dropped the whole "classes and methods" thing and integrated support for Haskell syntax and libraries, it would be slightly less terrible.

It crossed my mind earlier today that if I had another car, it would be a cdr.

It crossed my mind earlier today that if my dog had no pancreas, he'd be unable to secrete digestive enzymes.

Cummingham&Cummingham wiki has lots of useful advice.
