    learning c++

    hey folks i am having trouble going to sections of Bjarne's book "C++ Programming language". it's
    quite hard to follow. Are there any other good books on C++ from Java programmers perspective?

    thanks

      Anyone? If I haven't been clear about it, let me say that I need a book that gives me hints and
      explains to me in detail at each gotchas, how a Java programmer might make mistakes w.r.t C++ and
      also expounds on STL,Templates (pretty much everything from Bjarne's book). There used to be a
      forum/faq tucked somewhere but i can't seem to find it at the moment. :[

      thanks

          Try Dietel's C++ How to Program. It is quite comprehensive
          with a lot of examples, explanations, and UML.

          Then there's C++ Gotchas by Stephen Dewhurst, an interesting
          write on what C++ programmers (beginner, intermediate and
          advanced) should look out for.

          Both are listed on Amazon.

          I don't recall any books for Java programmers on C++, though
          I'm sure there should be.

          :-)

              Wow, I knew of Dietel's Java book. Maybe I should give this a try.
              C++ Gotchas might be available here in library.

              A quick google tells me "C++ for Java Programmers" by Weiss. Is this any
              good?

              Sorry, I posted under different name than before. I felt it'd be a disgrace
              to captain cook who travelled around the world. :)

                      great! thanks a lot. I've got to make it a habit to press Ctrl+D on
                      firefox :) This is definitely the faq i was after. thanks! thanks!

                          http://accu.org/ is a good resource for book reviews.
                          Unfortunately the book you mention doesn't seem to be
                          in there. Caveat emptor wrt C++ books - the dross
                          outweighs the good stuff by a significant factor.
                          Search this group's archives for book recommendations ,
                          "what books should I learn from?" questions come up quite
                          a lot (though I don't recall anyone asking from a Java
                          perspective recently).
                          Sorry this advice is a bit negative, but good luck !
