That book is like one level above the language specifications and most of the information contained goes beyond the scope of a beginner.
Judging from his OP, I don't think he's interested in reading 1000+ pages on nitty gritty details of C++.
Instead of a book, I recommend some tutorials you can find online such as this one: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ |
He said he wanted a textbook for reference, and that's pretty well the textbook for C++. I was the required book for all my intro-level programming classes and I still keep a copy on my desk today for reference (I program in C++ for a living).
