  The best and the most student friendly book in C++ is now on the market.
If you want to learn C++ easily and quickly, read it. The book is
"Object-Oriented C++ Primer" by Leon Poskar. Despite the fact that it has
been published this year, it has sold thousands of copies. The book is
written in a clear, easy to understand manner. 
  It gives a thorough treatment of C++ features inherited from C, such as:
data presentation and data types, control statements, arrays, functions,
structures, unions, character strings, pointers, operators, preprocessor
directives, C style run-time allocation, C style input/ output, ANSI
Standard Library. It goes in depth in describing C++ specific: classes,
operator overloading, inheritance, polymorphism, virtual functions,
function and class templates, exception throwing, function overloading,
functions with default arguments, C++ style input/output, C++ style
run-time allocation, iostream libary.
  Each theoretical concept in the book is illustrated by a runable
example. Many examples have been tried on at least two compilers to insure
the most portability of the code and generality of concepts. The book is
based on ANSI (ISO) Standards for C and ANSI Standard Draft for C++. The
text is good for anybody who wants to study C++. The book is good for
programmers in all the platforms and environments (DOS, Windows 3..., 95,
NT...), UNIX, Macintosh.
  The book is sold in "Quantum Books" (Cambridge near MIT, MA), "New
England Mobile Book Fair" (Newton, MA), "Harvard Bookstore" (near Harvard
University), Microcenter (14 locations natinwide), "Baker Books" (North
