I'd consider myself something of a c++ hobbyist. Rather, I program mainly
at a personal project level. I started learning when I was about twelve
years old (currently eighteen), reading various books I could find at the
local library. In 1999, when I learned about C++96, I realized that it
really wasn't a great idea to read from someone else's aging book heap. To
bring this somewhat off-topic post to a point, my c++ book knowledge to date
consists of:
Various trash books by filth publishers, i.e. teach yourself c++ in 24
hours, c++ for the clinically retarded...etc
Various implimentation-specific books on sockets, windows/mfc programming,
programming in a posix environment...etc.
"Extreme Programming In Action"
Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language"
Scott Meyer's "Effective C++", "More Effective C++", and "Effective STL".
Josuttis's "The C++ Standard Library"
Alexandrescu's "Modern C++ Design"
Recently, I've picked up, but have yet to read:
Robert Sedgewick - "Algorithms in C++", Parts 1-4 and Part 5
along with the GOF book.
I'm wondering what good books my shelf lacks, whether anyone can offer any
advice as to whether to pursue Algorithms or Patterns first, as either topic
isn't going to be at the top of my agenda and will take a very long time to
absorb. Any other tips to enrich my programming repetoire will be much
appreciated.
