i asked for book recommendations (for c programmers) here - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3098298

unfortunately, there didn't seem to be a really good one.



Go find a copy of Thinking in C++ by bruce eckel. He has a free version of it online (also volume two about the standard library).

The book is getting old but I still find it valuable and he builds up from C and teaches a whole lot more of the gotchas than this article does.


It is worth noting that Bruce Eckel pretty much gave up on C++ as a hopeless mess long ago. After some time in Java-land and Python-land this days he is hanging out in Go-land.
