I'd also like to recommend the books:
Effective C++, 2nd Ed (Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-92488-9)
More Effective C++ (Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-63371-X)
both by Scott Meyers.
These books really teach you how to use C++ properly. Anyone who
dismisses C++ out of hand should read these books.
For an example of how to do it badly, read MFC Internals
(0-201-40721-3). Good framework, good algorithms, poor style.
If you do get Stroustrup, make sure it's the latest edition, as earlier
versions didn't cover Standard C++. A heck of a lot of changes were
made to the standard before it was finalised.
