In summary, some suggestions for learning C++ include checking out the tutorials and resources on the website cprogramming.com, as well as potentially reading the book "How to Program C++" by Deitel & Deitel. Another recommendation is to start with "Sam's Teach Yourself C++" and work your way up to more advanced books. Additionally, the book "A Guide to Programming in C++" by Lawrencevill Press is also highly recommended.

http://www.cprogramming.com/

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.

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.

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.
