/prog/ - The C++ Programming Language

Is this book like The C Programming Language? I mean not only teaching the language, but also improving your skills, brightening you and giving an insight.

Or this is just a piece of shit that explains the syntax and nothing more?

It's an awful book all the way. It's really no K&R.

Read SICP (Structure and Interpretation of C Programs)

If you want to suffer permanent brain damage, give it a read.

C++ only gives you insights into new horrors and levels of bullshit.

Not true, C is a (minutely different) subset of C++, where as Java is not a subset or superset of either.

learn C, faggot

...Yes but no =D

C and C++ are compiled, java is interpreted... >> same
C++ is object oriented, so is Java and C is not... >> Different

Things are always debatable... =)

Nothing is simple... Things are not always black and white... =)

Java is compiled you moron.

... Kind of, but only to a virtual machine =)

If it was really compiled it would not be so slow... =D

No, if it didn't have GC it wouldn't be so slow.

Whether it's being compiled to native code or not is irrelevant, it's still being compiled.

And even when it's compiled to bytecode, it's still not strictly being interpreted. The JVM may use JIT compilation, so the code is run natively and not interpreted.

gcj can compile Java to native machine code.

You are correct. GC is shit.

So which book you suggest for learning C++ for a decent C programmer? I also know about OOP concepts because I had to develop a course project with Java. But still of course I would not prefer a book which presents a quick tuto about the language itself, but rather a book with an insight.

Don't learn C++. Problem solved.

[C++ Primer Plus]. Just skip the explanation of variables.
Then read [Effective C++]. Go read Amazon's reviews for it.
