ok I was wanting to start into C++, I have not learned any programming languages, except for HTML, and that wasn't really programming. anyone know of any good books to learn C++ from?
What is the best C++ programming book for an absolute begginer?
I used this one to learn it back in 1998:

It is 1224 pages. What I liked about it is that it started at the very beginning and taught all of the basics writing simple console apps. Then it progressed into writing applications with the Win32 API to show you how Windows works in terms of message handling. Then you learned how to use MFC to make things easier. It covers a good amount of information.
It looks like he might have an up to date version now:

Reply:C++ is a tough first language to learn on your own. Very tough.
The best book I have is The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup (the creator of C++). But it's more a reference book.
The Dummies books are usually of good quality.
I learned C++ on my own years ago. I had years of C experience and C++ was a much simpler language then. And I struggled before I was able to understand it.
Java or C# are object oriented languages based on C and their syntax is easier than C++.
