I like how Francis pays particular attention to the pitfalls of the language. He teaches you to always check for failing function calls (something a lot of “beginner books” fail to do) and teaches you how to use strings and vectors from the beginning in place of arrays. deoren tech:programming:cpp:books Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:06:28 -0400
