Learning C++ made me a better programmer overall. I suggest "Accelerated C++". It is the one book I most enjoyed. It gets you up and running with the STL quickly. I also like Bjarne Stroustrup reference books. C++ is my favorite language next to Python. I use them both daily. When you must have fast, native code, C++ is hard to beat.
