Many c++ programmer on other forums have recommended 4th edition instead of 5th.

Wow things just got complicated.
It's 8 years old?.. Damn I'm lost again.

I haven't needed any other book, but maybe you should buy the book which Pshyco_Coder recommended

What changes from one edition to another is just a matter of details if you are studying it as a beginner. What PsychoCoder suggested is a pretty good book but remember that even with the best book it is now garaunteed a good result. In my experience i found that i found my selfe very comfortable with a book while some friends of mine chose another one.

My suggestion is to begin from one and read some others too as it is possible that a concept that you do not fully understand in the one you have, is explained differently in another one, hence maybe you can understand it.

If you are planning to learn C++ be sure to learn it deep. It is a high level language but differently from Python for example, it lets you manage low level components like memory. In my personal experience, after learning C++, i found all other langugaes much easier and faster to learn and master

I've tried some C++ books and most of them were really frustrating to read.You can't be more right, I just picked C++ Primer (5th edition) and it's the most suitable ebook for me, I'm actually really enjoying it.

Thanks for your input.

What I used at the beginning was: http://www.cplusplus.com/ and some german books.

As a later reading I used Introduction to Algorithms, 2nd Edition and also Wiley DataStructures and Agorithms and would recommend chossing to make a data structure. Why ? Because in such an example you learn how to use arrays,pointers and all these basics that u read about in the book. Unfortunately I have some great german books so I dont know if those would help you.
Seperate Chaining or Double hashing would be a good start.

As for the programming I use notepad++ (you cant compile in it but its great for structuring and u have everything colored Wink

). For IDE Bloodshed DEV is a good one or just download Visual Studio 2012. Also there is a Eclipse (used for java) version for C++. Didnt use it but you can look it up.

I am in a Community College, I want to get in to Computer Programming and make it a career and I also want to acquire a bachelor's degree. I just can't seem to find the right counselor to lead me in the right direction to see what classes I need to attend in order for me to start my career and help?
