I fully concur with Derek. If you are programming in any language, C,
C++, Java, COBOL, or even ADA, you should have at least one book to use
as a reference as well as some online references to keep track of recent
changes as well as compiler differences. I have among my references, the
original K&R, K&R 2nd edition, Stroustrup and several more books. If you
are a newcomer to C++ or computer programming in general, there are
several good (and bad) tutorial books.
