<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am a Java programmer, but recently the need came up for me to learn C++ fast. I am thinking in about a week, obviously also with normal daily obligations (meaning I can't spend 8 hrs in front of a computer every day). </p>

<p>I realize that this is quite a short time span, and I am certainly not looking to master the language. I just need some basic C++ knowledge to be able to write working code, understand documentation, etc as part of a project. I am a CS student, so I don't really need the "if-else statements control program flow by..." kind of tutorial. </p>

<p>What do you guys recommend? I am debating between just working through a straight up C++ book or one of those "Java to C++" type tutorials. </p>
