C++ and C# book recommendations?

[gak]

Hi

I have some experience in Java, having used the excellent book - Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code by Jacquie Barker.

Could anyone recommend any good books to get me started in either C++ or C#? As I have no experience in either language I'm not really sure what book to go for?

Thanks in advance

This is a heavy read....as it covers advanced topics.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Professional-C-2005-Christian-Nagel/dp/0764575341/ref=pd_bbs_sr_6/203-0259260-0447176?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176825165&sr=8-6

Perhaps...this is the book you should go for...since you are familiar with Java

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Programming-C-Jesse-Liberty/dp/0596006993/ref=pd_bbs_1/203-0259260-0447176?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176825390&sr=8-1

Also...You should consider joining Shelfari (http://www.shelfari.com/)...a very good place to find feedback on books and exchange information etc.

Cheers,

Seconded. After a few false starts with C++ using other materials I picked up this book, and I wish I'd done it straight off... it cleared up my long-standing issues parsing complex pointer structure declarations in the space of a few paragraphs, and the exercises were all spot-on, instructive stuff.

I haven't read that book, but I probably wouldn't hesitate to give it a try. After all, it is written by the creator of C++ so I'm guessing the Author has an idea what he's talking about.
