C++ newbie..plz help

[rhle.freak]

Hi all ,i am new to this group,just starting out programming in c++,i
have a good grasp over 'c' and now i am moving onto c++.
I would like to know if the oop learning curve is very steep and also
could you suggest a standard reference book.
Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language" seems to be good reference
and a choice of many...can i jump onto it without any other beginner
level books in c++?

Thinking in C++ is also a good book.

Many people recommend "Accelerated C++" by Koenig and Moo for people
who already have some programming experience. For reviews of other
possibilities see the ACCU (http://www.accu.org/index.htm) book
reviews section.

Meyer's Effective C++ (3rd Edition) is a great book. I found that it
was
useful tool in becoming an intermediate programmer.

The Sutter books (and others in that series) are useful tools in
becoming an advanced programmer.

As Stroustrup himself say recently: there are many people that have been
able to learn directly form TC++PL, and there are also many that not. If
you can, only you can know.

But I suggest you to read "Accelerated C++" first. Maybe you don't need it,
but it does not hurt in any case.

I would like to thank all of you for your suggestions.Thanks a lot !
