More than 100,000 programmers owe their careers to Professor John Smiley. In this unique guide, the guru himself will teach you, in a classroom setting, how to program with C++. Learn from more than 100 questions and answers as well as real-world programming projects.
Read this just for fun, as I had already known C++ for along time by this point. It's a great, casual look at C++ and I would highly recommend it to a beginner, assuming there is an up-to-date edition.
