The best book I have used.

This book is a little dated, which makes sense, as it was published 5 years before C++ was standardized. However, this guy has the best tutorial on pointers and arrays (who knew they were sort of the same thing) that I have ever seen. I had no idea what the hell a pointer was, but this book did a great job. The only problem I had at first was that this book was made before the major advent of namespaces. Therefore, you have to know what namespace you're going to use before you type your code (usually you can just type using namespace std;). This guy also has a good tutorial of classes, and really is a good teacher. Be warned, though, that this guy loves his for loops, so if you aren't into that kind of thing, then be prepared.
