t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) "C++ From Control Structures Through Objects, 8th Ed." by Tony Gaddis is what we used in fundamentals and OOP. It is very thorough and easy to understand in my opinion. Additionally, http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ is an excellent resource for both programming reference as well as basic tutorials. It covers all of the built in libraries and their functions, types, constants, etc. I'm not sure how fluent you are with programming languages, but be sure to practice with 3rd party libraries. SFML is a good one to start with - very simple to work with once you get a good understanding of C++. Edited August 7, 2017 by Plank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K^2 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'd be skeptical of any C++ book that's in the 8th edition right now. C++ has undergone drastic changes with C++11 and C++14 and 17 are continuing in that direction. C++ you are expected to know and use today is very different from C++ that was taught half a decade ago. And most textbooks have not been adjusted for that fact. To learn modern C++, you should be using a modern textbook. Also, cppreference.com tends to be far more thorough and detailed on standard libraries and modern C++ features. It is a better resource nine times out of ten. RyanDri3957V and Jimmy 2 Prior to filing a bug against any of my code, please consider this response to common concerns.
