What are the best book to learn either C or C++

please help...so many choices!! but which ones are really good? thanks
 
A really good book on C is "A Book on C" by Kelley and Pohl.

If you're trying to learn a language it really helps if you do the examples in the book or have some project to work on. The book above is good at all levels from beginner to someone who needs a really good reference.

In C++ there are a lot of different ways to go. Basically, you just have to catch the OO (object-oriented) way of doing things and the rest falls into place.
 
I used A Book on C" by Kelley and Pohl 3rd Edition (which is old now I think?) to learn C and I think it is a really great book. It has clear examples and is quite easy to understand.

You can also try "Programming with C" by Byron Gottfried it is well priced and comprehensive but can be a bit dificult to understand at times.

I would recommend the Pohl book!
