What's a good book for learning C++ that assumes some previous programming knowledge?

Question

I'm looking to learn C++ over the summer, but I don't want an "introduction to programming" text. I know Java very well, and I have a pretty solid grasp on C (I know all the basic stuff like structs, unions, and pointers, but I don't have a lot of experience doing production code with it).

So rather than a book that goes over what a for-loop is for the umpteenth time, I'm looking for a text that will just go over the syntax and the nuances of the language... any suggestions?

Answer 3

It depends on your definition of "some previous programming knowledge" (as opposed to "some knowledge of some programming languages"). Knowing programming languages isn't knowing programming. If you only know some programming, first learn the rest of programming. Languages are something you should START learning only AFTER you have a thorough knowledge of programming.
