Interesting that the author didn't include C++ Primer in his list of favorites. It's not perfect, but I think its latest edition (C++11) is a pretty good way to learn C++ currently.
- copperx 7y agoDo you mean A Tour of C++? That's an excellent introduction by Bjarne himself, but does not talk about some things such as the Boost library.
- mlvljr 7y agoI think what is meant is Lippman's book.
- muterad_murilax 7y agoOP is clearly talking about Stanley B. Lippman's book C++ Primer (Fifth Edition).
- dgellow 7y agoA tour of C++, by B. Stroustrup. Short (~250pages) and accessible introduction to the language and libraries. The second edition has been updated for C++17 and some parts of C++20.

Lippman, Josée Lajoie, and arbara E. Moo. Really huge book, 970+ pages. Covers almost everything from the language, updated for C++11. I wouldn't use it as a beginner though.

The first one is really nice introduction, I picked it up a few months ago to learn the language. Quick read, simple to follow, I really enjoy this book. The second one works as a reference as it goes way more in details and covers a massive amount of stuff!
- reflexer 7y agoPrimer is a really dry reference. It was too boring for me to read it in order. Too many details on not very fun topics from the beginning.
