The Late Night Guide to C++
If you are an experienced programmer whose days are full of coding and maintenance, you have little time for dry language manuals. In style, the The Late Night Guide to C++ embarks on a mission to restore fun and excitement to jaded programmers forced, of necessity, to learn the language. It is not an attempt to teach programming, still less design. It does aim to show you what C++ is like, and what it's like to program in it: the good and bad; from the simplest features to sophisticated tasks. The Late Night Guide to C++ assumes no knowledge of the language, but is written for those who already know how to write non-trivial programs in other languages, and who know their way around computers. These may be professional programmers or software engineers, teachers of programming or students with programming experience looking for a readable, informal tutorial.

Good for experienced
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
It is jump start but with a lot of theory and technical stuff. It is definitely not like teach yourself in 21 days. I find this book helpful but I couldn't say that's right for others. I like this book a lot.
Good theory

This book was not meant to compete with the Teach Yourself Foo in 21 Days For Dummies In A Nutshell books. It does a great job, however, of helping an experienced programmer learn C++. It also does a good job discussing when and why you might want to use certain more esoteric features of the language.
