One of our customers asked me if I could recommend a tutorial book on C++, and not having been keeping abreast of the latest releases, I couldn't. What are the best 2.0-based books currently available for somebody new to C++? Thanks in advance. -- Mark McWiggins Integration Technologies, Inc.

What are the best 2.0-based books currently available Simpler/intro/neo C++ learning suffices with Bruce Eckel's "Using C++" (Osborne/McGraw-Hill). More complicated stuff is covered by Stanley Lippman's "C++ Primer" (Addison-Wesley) and Dewhurst & Stark's "Programming in C++" (Prentic Hall). For non-tutorials get a hold of Stroustrup's text (very hard to read) as well as the C++ 2.1 Language Reference Manual (you can get this from AT&T be calling 800-432-6600, product code is 307-159, price I think is $25). Also, Stroustrup and Ellis's "The Annotated C++ Reference Manual" (Addison-Wesley) has been printed and should be in bookstores soon. -- Greg, Comeau Computing, 91-34 120th Street, Richmond Hill, NY, 11418 Produce Comeau C++, SysAdm col'nist for UNIX Today!, Microsoft Systems Journal (C programming), + others.

I'm not sure about the specific books that you mention, but I've found that one of the best stores is the University of Toronto bookstore. It's on the north-west corner of St. George and College, in the Koffler Centre. The computer section is in the south east corner of the bottom floor of the store, and has quite a selection of texts, reference manuals, magazines ... as well as the sort of cheep tutorial books that seem to flood the rest of the stores in TO. There is also the U of T computer store upstairs, but that has hardly anything worth looking at. Good luck and happy hunting!! ----->>>>> mike@dretor.dciem.dnd.ca
