books. 6th or 7th edition
Hello I started to learn C++ a bit ago and wondered what peoples thoughts were on books and where to start. Currently i own C++ Sams 21 days 6th edition, is it okay if I continue to use it? Or should I just buy the seventh edition of it? Thanks, I really hoped I could just keep using it but if it's not a great idea I would like to know. Cheers.
If you are going to learn that way, then I would say keep the 6th edition and use the free tutorial on this website to help explain other concepts.
You won't become a master of C++ through that book, but it is a good start.

are the tutorials on this site up to date it says the last year updated was 2007......isn't that before C++ 11? or does that even matter?

If you want to buy a good introductory book which is up to date with current C++, this would be the stand-out choice: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0321714113/
Some good web resources:

http://stdcxx.apache.org/doc/stdlibug/noframes.html
http://www.linuxguruz.com/ebooks/eckel/ (Thinking in C++ volumes 1 and 2).
