Hi

I am currently an IT student and I want to start c++ any suggestions of C++ books I can use. That has good exercises as well.

Enjoy the rest of your day.
Any, or all, of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Principles-Practice-Using-Edition/dp/0321992784

C++ Primer (5th edition) - Lippman, Lajoie, Moo

Accelerated C++ - Koenig, Moo

I am using "Jumping into C++" by Alex Allain. Seems very fine to me till now.I have also seen many others recommend this book. Everything is explained in way that can be understand by a newbie to programming.(i am one of those). You should find it fine. Hope this helps.

Thank you JLBorges and koopey ill look into it.

Hello Jakez. I own the book C++ Primer which JLBorges mentioned, albeit Fourth Edition. I have to admit though, if I didn't have a bit of previous programming experience, I wouldn't be able to use the book that well. So if you're going for the book (it is a pretty good one), make sure you have some previous experience. Also, here is a good resource for you:

I do have previous Programming experience with Java and C#.
Thanks for all the replies
I must add my favorite book here aswell. It is called Professional C++ and is written by Marc Gregoire who recieved Microsofts most valuble professional for his C++ knowledge.

It it so well written that it teaches you all the really powerfull and complex parts of C++ in an almost simple way. This book is the main reason that I went from knowing zero code to working as a System developer in 10 months without education :)

I write a little bit about it here:
