Title: Is the book C++ Primer 4th edtion anygood?

I was wondering if that book is any good, before I buy it, I know only a little bit of C++, so even a good intro book would be a good sugestion, I already have C++ for dummies, but I dont really like it, to me it seems like it has too much off topic stuff.

Short answer, yes. Slightly longer answer, yes, it's one of the best introduction book you can get along with You Can Do It! and Accelerated C++ (all 3 books aim for different target audience).

Note that I'm taking you are talking about C++ Primer by Lippman et al. and NOT C++ Primer Plus by Prata.

Yes, Im using the "C++ PRIMER 4th Edition" one, not the "C++ PRIMER PLUS" book. So Im guessing its a good book then? I just bought it, but didnt want to learn from a book that might not teach c++ in a good way. (sorry if that does not make sense)
