    Both the books let us c++ by yashwant kanetkar and e. balaguruswamy are excellent. I personally like yashwant kanetkar's more. I 'd recommend you to go for let us c first and do try to solve all the unsolved problems at the back of each chapter to form a nice base. Schaum series book is also nice

    "Teach Yourself C In 21 Days" was a pretty good book. I used it to learn the basics before my highschool c++ class and it did help.

    You can try using this priority:
    1. Balagurusamy
    2. Yashawant Kanetkar
    3. C++ For Dummies, Wiley Publications
    4. Teach Yourself C In 21 Days

    I would recommend C++ For Dummies, Wiley Publications, as it contains good examples and funny stuffs for beginners. It is an absolute beginner book.

    For making strong base, instead of Balaguruswamy or Let Us C++, I would recommend Thinking in C++ (Vol.1 and Vol. 2) by Bruce Eckel for startup. The book is available online for read at the author's website itself (#-Link-Snipped-#).

    Once user is done reading Thinking in C++, i would recommend to read:
    1. The C++ Programming Language (Bjarne Stroustrup)
    2. Effective & More Effective C++ (Scott Meyers)

    C++ is an object oriented language so u shud know the OO principles to understand the unique approach of OO methodologies. after u get acquainted with these principles....u can read c++: the complete reference which is a very gud buk

    Yes completely agree with you. but one can start with the basic syntax and before the start of classes concept they should get their OOPs concept clear.

    @anirow: ya one can start with the syntax difference in c and c++

    But do you think, these days people prefer to learn C before C++ because I have seen quite a few people who start with C++ to graduate towards JAVA.

    Well what I was trying to say that learning C has not remained a prerequisite for many people in order to learn C++. A lot of people i know have done that and infact most of them learn C++ because later on they would want to move to Java

    ya thats true...one need not learn C to start with C++.....but if you learn C before C++then you clearly understand the difference between procedure oriented programming and OOP

    Yes completely agree with you, when you learn C before C++ you get to know bigger picture.

    C++ by Balaguruswamy is a Very Good Book for the Beginners! Its very understandable with simple language and with neat Examples! You can try!
    And yeah, you should learn C before going for C++, It makes you easy!
