Know any good books on C or C++?

[Kevlar]

I am looking to learn C or C++ programming and would like any recommendations on good starter books.  I have done some programming in the past (in my college days), but that was in Fortran and Turbo Pascal.  What I am looking for specifically is a book that teaches the basics.  I would prefer that it use Linux as its teaching platform, but that isn\'t a requirement.  Thanks in advance.

My advice is worth exactly what you paid for it, nothing more, nothing less!

Sams \"teach yourself C in 21 days\" was a pretty good book.  I used it to learn the basics before my highschool c++ class and it did help.  They do have a c++ version now from what i\'ve heard so you might want to look into that.

Thanks.  I was trying to jumpstart some posts here so I had to pick something from my list of things I had questions about currently.  I will check that book out.

You might also want to check out \"Using C++\"...Can\'t remember the author right now, but it\'s published by QUE. It\'s a little more in depth than \"C++ in 21 days\", but I found it more helpful...

No no, you are all wrong, i just finished my course on C programming, and i have a good book on it, its called:

\"Problem solving and program design is C\"

Plus i can get you my old lecture notes if you want from my degree, and i can give you the problems and solutions that we where tested on!

Good source of C++ book reviews is
http://www.idinews.com/bibliogr.html
which includes not only recommendations but a review of what to avoid, as well as some excellent C++ tips and guidance. Also at http://www.idinews.com/freeware.html there are some free downloadable C++ class definitions.

If you can get some of your old lecture notes on C, that would be perfect. I need some of the examples that you guys have already had in class.
