I am currently reading Dewhurst and Stark's Programming in C++ book
and I can recommend it.  The book begins with a too short talk on C
(that I skipped) and then goes into C++.  It has the usual assortment
of obvious classes (Strings, Trees, etc) but what I particularly like about
the book is the insights contained in the text.

I find the hardest thing to learn about a language are the tidbits that
can save hours of confusion until the "Ahh-ha" occurs.  There are
several in there that were not obvious and that I am glad I read.
