A good c++ book is "How to Program C++" by Deitel & Deitel. ISBN 0-13-038474-7.

If you want I can send you a copy of some notes from a past programming class I took. They explain c++ very well.

that would be very kind of you ddurado, yes please:smile:
 
Hmm, slight problem. My account on the server where I keep the file was deleted. The document is around 200 pages so it is impractical for me to scan it. I'll have to talk to my old professor to see if I can get a another copy.
 
wolram, try starting Here
 
I would start out with Sam's Teach Yourself C++. It gives you the basics and an appreciation of the language, then work myself up to the more advanced ones.
