A good tutorial and reference guide to C/C++

The C/C++ AA book follows in the same liner as the JavaScript and Perl books by taking a close look at the source code that contributes to many real-world examples. With the C/C++ book each chapter deals with a different core element of a typical program covered in detail. You get great examples of core programming principles such as sorting, expression parsing, and even a small version of Basic all written in C/C++ with the annotated code.The annotations are clear, and the examples work - the addition of the CD certainly makes the process of using the sample much easier. If I was to pick two chapters that I found the most useful it would be the small internet browser, and the section on CGI programming for the web. Coming a close second are the two chapters written by Herb Schildt.If I had one single concern about the overall layout of the book it would be that many of the scripts have comments in them. Whilst this is fine for a standalone piece of source code, in a book that also annotates the source code, it's a little distracting.But ignoring that problem it's an excellent book, and well worth purchasing whether you are just learning the language or want to brush up on some of the more complex aspects of C and C++ programming.
