C++ for dummies?

[NinjaLordBruce]

I want to learn C++ so I looked for books on amazon and found the for dummies ones but there are so many different ones for C++. I have used python for quite a while and have knowledge of the basics. So I don't want it to be an absolute beginners book but I also need to know th syntax for the basic stuff in C++. Anyone ever used those books and know which would be good?

Hello, when I needed some stuff from c++ [basic-like not complex] I used this site http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/. I'm not that fond of books, as the best experience you get is by doing projects and while you program your way through you learn new things [I mainly program in python and thats the way I learned quite a lot]. By that I mean, whenever you get stuck, either ask someone [on stackoverflow you can actually look for similar questions, it's an awesome site for such things] or try brute force or I use the site I mentioned earlier and look at examples.

start using online learning. from basic to advanced. You'll find everything here. just google your queries and learn step by step. start with iostream commands.

I recommend C or Java/.Net, but not C++ unless you have a specific reason to use C++.
