ugoff, yeah, Beginning C++ Game Programming looks just like what you're looking for -- teaches C++ and game programming to beginners. A thread on this
forum has someone that has the book and gives it a good review.
Good C++ Books

I also like C++ Primer Plus...
Same here...goes from C to C++ in one book...well sorta.
While we're on this topic . . .
I'm an experienced C coder who was thinking of making The Change to C++. I saw "The C++ Programming Language" on the store shelves at Borders. It's by the developers of the language, like "The C Programming Language" IIRC. Is this a good buy?

Yes, the two definitive books on C++ programming are "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Soustraup and "C++ Primer" by Stanley Lippmann.
I can't believe there are actually a few people that recommend the C++ Primer Plus by Stephen Prata. You actually learn a lot of horrible techniques and basically how to use C with some C++ keywords. That book is NOWHERE near a book on C++ at all, I mean the guy doesn't even know or use the standards. Although I guess you could pick out some small things or get a base in C if you really wanted to learn C before C++... and then pick up a good C++ book later on.
I actually didn't learn C++ from a book. I learned it from http://www.cplusplus.com/ and http://www.cprogramming.com/. Both are excellent sites which teach the programming, and the standard libraries.
