Can somebody recommend a good C++ book without all the new to programming parts?


Yes, the following I recommend:

Advanced C++. http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-C-Programming-Styles-Idioms/d...

Any and all Herb Sutter books.

Effective C++, More Effective C++, and Effective STL ... all by Scott Myers.

With those you're 90% set. What you'll need to supplement with thoough is something that covers the 0x standard.


If you really want to dive straight into the deep end, I'd recommend Modern C++ Design by Andrei Alexandrescu. But if you want just a gentle introduction to C++ I'd suggest The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup.

Both of these authors are staples in the C++ world and so their advice is usually worth their weight in gold.


http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ is surprisingly useful. And free.
