Hello All,

I am looking for some detailed C and C++ books that teach you 'in-depth' C
and C++.
I have been using C and C++ for about a year doing some 'teach yourself'
type programmes.  I would like to begin to use it professionally by next
year.  My problem is that even though I know the basics like polymorphism,
inheritance, encapsulation and other C and C++ topics I still dont know a
great deal about the language like what a 'namespace' is or anything to do
with input/output buffers and I dont know much about the standard headers in
C or C++.

Does anyone know of some 'really good' books that cover this information
with programming examples.  A book with examples is very important as it
makes understanding things easier.
I am not looking for any 'Teach yourself in 21 days' books or any Visual C++
books.  Just books that cover the latest ANSI/ISO C and C++ languages.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Edmund

A good start would be to post to a more appropriate newsgroup.

I think your first problem is that you must decide which language you
want to focus on.  They share much syntax but correct idiomatic usage is
vastly different (much larger than the problems Californians have with
my English)

Now if you have the basics of C/C++ you should read one of the highly
recommended texts (relevant to the language you choose to focus on) you
will find reviewed at www.accu.org.
