I need to know what the equivalent of K&R is for C++. I got this book that The Waite Group produced, but the example programs have lots of real obvious bugs in them. Somehow shakes my confidence in the rest of the book, if you know what I mean. I need a book that is at about the same level as K&R, that assumes that I already know C, and doesn't try to hype the language. Is there such a beasty?

Programming in C++ by Dewhurst and Stark was highly rated by
The C++ Report (volume 1 number 8: "Every C++ programmer should get this
book and read it grom cover to cover."), and is somewhat K&R-like.
The C++ Primer by Lippman is considered the best for non-C people,
A question on the net resulted in Lippman being "unanimously
recommended". It was reviewed in The C++ Report 1:10.
The UNIX(R) System V AT&T C++ Language System, Release 2.0, documentation
looks very good.

Any more recomendations?steveh@hpsemc.HP.COM (Steve Hoogheem) (03/28/90)
Two books I like are: C++ for C Programmers by Pohl C++ Primer by Lipmann The first is lighter and easier reading, but still has good information. The second has alot more prose and is slower reading. Enjoy.
