Looking for C++ resources

[Iridium]

I have a few books but neither of them are very useful. I would like a book or maybe some type of correspondance course that would help me learn C++ well. Although I'm sure the books I have now are fine for reference, I can't actually *do* anything with them. It's frustrating not being able to figure out basic things such as writing to and reading from files. If anyone knows of any good C++ resources, let me know!

C++ How To Program Third Edition by Deitel & Deitel

Some sites
http://www.cplusplus.com
http://www.cppreference.com/
http://www.programmersheaven.com/zone3/

http://www.rafb.net/paste
(use this to show your friends code, simply past submit and then take the url from the top and give them it. easy way to show people your code without flooding them with 5000 lines of code and aim doesn't allow some code to be copy and pasted. you can also see other people's code there and check it out)

I have the book "Sam's Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days" and I would strongly recommend that. But in point of fact, the official C++ tutorial found at http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial is pretty much all the source you need to get a considerable understanding of the language from the basics to the advanced features. Alternatively take a look at my thread on learning Java and/or C++ and the info on tutorials / compilers you will need. http://computerforums.org/showthread.php?t=9936
