Can anyone suggest a good tutorial/Book/Ebook for a beginner in C++? I just finished the quite lengthy installation process and ready to begin my learning adventure.
Quote from: Edsger W. DijkstraIt is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

I found 'C++ From Scratch' quite useful. I've learned most of what I know from practice, asking people or reading tutorials, though. It was a good book for picking up the syntax, but i didn't use it much after that.

A Complete Guide To Programming In C++ - I bought this book shortly after it came out, it's very easy to understand (although I had some previous programming experience with perl).  The English is a little broken in some places (it's written by two Germans) but that aside it's a great tutorial.
