My preference. It isn't the easiest to learn from. More of a language guide than a learning book. The examples are not always the easiest to follow for a beginner(to C++) as it uses a more technical approach. Also as it covers the whole C++ language it doesn't give as in depth examples as some other books. My favourite book for a beginner would be Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel. Accelerated C++ by Koenig & Moo is always highly recommended but is suitable more for people who have programmed before Alex Gibson
