Best books to learn C++

Yes I am familiar with calculus. Math is not I am much qworried about. But for programming I need to start from scratch

That's what people usually said before they meet "Measure Theory".

I started with C++ 6 months ago. Today I have learned 3 other languages and work as a java developer. The reason why it went so well is because of the C++ book Professional C++ by Marc Gregoire. It gives you such a deep knowledge of C++ and programming in general that it is really easy to learn another language if you want. Marc is a most valuable professional at microsoft so he know his stuff!

constant practice is the only way

That's what people usually said before they meet "Measure Theory".

Even better, try Dedekind Cuts.

You need to start maths from scratch as well. No offence meant, Calculus is kind of 'baby maths'. Calculus is like taking driving lessons. Maths is !(taking driving lessons).

The 3rd edition of Brian Overland's C++ Without Fear is now out. If you're new to coding and need to learn basic C++ fast and enjoyably, I can't think of a better book. Amazon is selling it for a paltry $21. The book won't take you very far but will give you the framework to tackle more advanced books.
