My thesis work is taking me through some programming, I don't necessarily have to write a lot of code, but I do need to be able to read it properly and interpret what is happening.

This will require a good reference for C++. I need a book that can break it down for me but also serve as a great fall back when I am confused.

I flipped through the usual C++ Demystified and C++ for Dummies at the book store and I do not feel this type of book is what I need. It is great for a step by step walk through on how to do some light coding, but I am more looking for a textbook style format with great appendices.

Any suggestions?
