hey folks i am having trouble going to sections of Bjarne's book "C++ Programming language". it's
quite hard to follow. Are there any other good books on C++ from Java programmers perspective?

thanks

Anyone? If I haven't been clear about it, let me say that I need a book that gives me hints and
explains to me in detail at each gotchas, how a Java programmer might make mistakes w.r.t C++ and
also expounds on STL,Templates (pretty much everything from Bjarne's book). There used to be a
forum/faq tucked somewhere but i can't seem to find it at the moment. :[

thanks

Try Dietel's C++ How to Program. It is quite comprehensive
with a lot of examples, explanations, and UML.

Then there's C++ Gotchas by Stephen Dewhurst, an interesting
write on what C++ programmers (beginner, intermediate and
advanced) should look out for.

Both are listed on Amazon.

I don't recall any books for Java programmers on C++, though
I'm sure there should be.

Wow, I knew of Dietel's Java book. Maybe I should give this a try.
C++ Gotchas might be available here in library.

A quick google tells me "C++ for Java Programmers" by Weiss. Is this any
good?

Sorry, I posted under different name than before. I felt it'd be a disgrace
to captain cook who travelled around the world. :)

http://accu.org/ is a good resource for book reviews.
Unfortunately the book you mention doesn't seem to be
in there. Caveat emptor wrt C++ books - the dross
outweighs the good stuff by a significant factor.
Search this group's archives for book recommendations,
"what books should I learn from?" questions come up quite
a lot (though I don't recall anyone asking from a Java
perspective recently).
Sorry this advice is a bit negative, but good luck !
