   Starting point
  I am currently deployed to Iraq (again), and I had to leave my C++ books back at home. I am still trying to learn the language, the only thing I have out here are electronic copies of some beginner C++ books, I was just wondering if anyone could recommend any beginner C++ books? I was looking at Game Programming All in One, but it seems to jump into 2d programming a little too fast. I have C++ Game Programming, however its the first edition, not the C++ Through Game Programming Edition. I also have C++ Primer Plus Fourth Edition, but not the fifth, as well as some other books. I was reading C++ A Dialog, I know its free online but I don't have the time to download each chapter off the internet.v/rCpl Alt, Travis A1st Battalion 7th Marines   
  http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.htmlThinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel is a good place to start.They're also both free to download from the site above and go from basics to advanced topics of programming with the language.
