Good C++ books/websites
category: general [glöplog]
Hello everyone (first post, yayayay)!
I want to learn C++ to make demos, games and such. Anyone that's got any recommendations on good books or websites on the topic?
I'm reading Accelerated C++ right now, it's pretty good. But is there any more that i should read?

http://www.cplusplus.com/ is pretty good.
Really easy to understand:

Thinking in C++ 2nd Edition by Bruce Eckel
Things are really well explained and kept very simple. It's accessible yet features everything you need to know. I always have a look at this one when I need something about C++.
And the 2 PDF are free and can be downloaded here :
Volume one (basics) : http://www.planetpdf.com/codecuts/pdfs/eckel/TIC2Vone.zip
Volume two (advanced) : http://www.planetpdf.com/codecuts/pdfs/eckel/TIC2Vtwo.zip

keops:
I already have that one on my harddrive, i downloaded a ton of C++ books just so i could have them in handy if someone told me i should read one of them, thanks for the links anyways!

How not to program in C++
Presented as a series of puzzles. Shows common mistakes before you make them (or that you've made) and helps to get you thinking about how to avoid those things; also gets you thinking.

Oh, and staying away from Pouet is also a good start.
Pouet will drain your creativity, seriously.

How to not program in C++?
First, you need to decide that you do not want to program in C++. The change has to emerge from yourself. No-one is able to do that for you.
Second, find reasons why programming in C++ is a bad idea and write them down. By all means educate yourself but also try to figure out some of the reasons on your own. Find some known failed C++ projects and think about maintaining them.
Third, prevent yourself from programming in C++. Delete toolchains and compilers. Avoid jobs where you need to use it. Make sure you won't even get recruited in such places. Unlearn ridiculous coding standards, adjust your outlook etc.
Finally, adjust your focus and values so that the whole idea feels alien to you. Learn haskell, or something.

After you've gotten the basics: Effective C++, More Effective C++, and Effective STL. Then, maybe Modern C++ Design and Design Patterns.
And Adok's C tutorials of course. That shit is obviously essential reading.

Please do not program in c++. It makes little kenyans cry.
Learn the D language instead. http://www.digitalmars.com/d/
DIY + a lot of asking + effective c++ + design patterns + generic programming books (e.g the pragmatic programmer, good for a starter).
