C++ book.

Can anyone recommend the right book that an experienced Ada programmer
should read to quickly learn C++ ?

Your skill level will determine the right book.  If you're adept with
Ada and know some C, I recommend Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming
Language, Third Edition" (ISBN: 0-201-8954-4) ($35.96 at Amazon)

I rather like the Bruce Eckel book, Thinking in C++.  It is 
intellectually accessible to the mind of a simple programmer.
Too many books are designed as a medium for the author to show
off.  This book is designed to communicate information so you
can understand C++.

I would think Simon Johnston's "Ada 95 for C and
C++ Programmers", published by Addison Wesley 
Longman, would provide the ideal direct mapping 
and related discussion.

Of course, you need to read it backwards.  :)

:-) 

I recommend a book "Scientific and Engineering C++" by
Barton&Nackman. (from awl too)

Its meant for fortran or C programmers to learn C++ not-so-quickly,
but I believe ada programmers can learn from it too and you dont need
to read it backwards. Its not a book for beginner programmers, but
people who have done programming on other languages for a long time.

I think reading it backwards might prove difficult :-) however Addison
Wesley were keen that it should be possible to use it in that manner.
