Programming C/C++ whats good book after a primer.

[travler]

so ive worked through teach yourself C++ in 21 days. (jesse liberty) good book

and computer science a strucured programming aproach using C (forouzan/gilbert) good book.

whats a good book to continue learning. DOS programing is great, but what about graphics, and windows? win32 and the like.

I apreciate you sugestions and opinions

I would like to get prety good at both C and C++. My Comp Sci classes will go into more detail as i progress, but I want to move faster.

To learn some of the subtle features of the language read Myers books "Effective C++" and "More Effective C++".

For C++ get The C++ Programming Language by Stroustrup
Definitely not for beginners, but an excellent reference.

Going to GUI programming from console programming is probably the hardest step. I can't really offer a good book on the subject because I haven't found one yet. Programming Windows by Petzold is pretty good if you want Win32-specific programming.

Are you programming on Linux by any chance? There's a really good Unix/Linux reference book called "Beginning Linux Programming" by Stones and Matthew (published by WROX) that covers all the basics and is an invaluable reference. It's also particularly good for CS students in college, because there's a good chance that all of your programming will be on a Unix platform.

You may want to try O'reilly's books. Here's a list of what they have at this site ...

thanks for the replies. I still cant figure out why their are hundreds of intro to console programming books and almost none for the next step.
