Worth its weight in gold

In less than 300 pages, the authors cover *more* than most c++ books do in 800+ pages. The explanations are clear, and the authors are clearly experts that know exactly what every feature does. Luckily for us, they are also very good at imparting their knowledge. This book will teach you to write C++ instead of just C, which is what most other C++ books seem to teach (even the best ones, like C++ Primer Plus). In short, this is definitely the C++ book to buy. My one caveat is: if you have never programmed, this book will confuse you; but to be fair, C++ is not a good first language if you have never programmed before. Python is the best choice there (its certainly my favorite language).
