I heartily recommend the first couple of chapters of Stroustrup's C++ Programming Language Fourth Edition, where suddenly everything makes sense and you never want to see naked new, delete or double pointers ever again. Use references everywhere, and ensure you have sensible constructors and destructors.
That is essentially the content of his short book, A Tour of C++:

- 72deluxe 11y agoAh yes but with the full book you get to look up the various concepts further on in the book if you don't "get it" within the intro section. There are times where ideas are introduced within the intro section but are tersely explained, where reading a section in the later chapter will make lightbulbs turn on in my head and it made sense. Of course, the "Tour of C++" book is great as well. But the full thick book is fantastic. Nice font in it compared to the Third Edition too (kiss goodbye to serif fonts).
