As an expert, well I have written > 500K C++ lines, I can say I learned C in
school but my C++ was nearly entirely
self taught by actually writing code and also by reading articles on the
web. I started out with the very basic MFC
code and learned about classes and then as I have worked in the field I have
increased my knowledge of the language
with each new project I have done. Being the only developer on most of my
projects I typically write 20K to 50K
completely new lines at the start of a project in about 3 to 5 months then
slow down as maintanace begins. But to
answer your question I really do not have any one single c++ book that I can
recommend. I can however recommend a
c++ site that has a large wealth of information. It is a windows site
however: www.codeproject.com
