Most Frequently Asked Question??????

From what I've seen and heard...

   1) The C++ Primer by Lippman
      and
   2) Programming in C++ by Dewhurst & Stark

Seem to be the best two for learning the language.
Lippman's better if you don't already know C.

Learning to use OOA/OOD/OOL is a different matter and I haven't heard of
any real clear winners.
