C++ Primer (4th Edition)? Why didn't you get 5th edition?

Good choices btw, a c++ beginners book, a good beginners c++ reference, a good math beginners book, and Algorithms in C++ looks good.

Fruny told me that the 5th edition was different from the 4th. What books should i get after finishing the beginner books?

Some good books are

Effective C++
More Effective C++
Effective STL

Exceptional C++
More Exceptional C++
Exceptional C++ style

C++ Coding Standards
Modern C++ Design

C++ Template Metaprogramming

Standard C++ Iostreams and Locales

C++ Templates - The Complete Guide
The C++ Standard Library

ISO/IEC 14882:2003

As a general rule, avoid books with titles along the lines of "Learn yourself a C++ guru in 24 visual hours", Rome was not built in a day.

Oh you got C++ Primer, not C++ Primer Plus. Alright, good good. Another good one is C++ Primer Plus ed 5, but you dont need it anymore I guess.

The ones in the last post are good, and these are too.
