Good Books for C++

Hello again!

Does anybody have any good recommendations on books for learning C++ scripting? I am starting to develop a game with my buddies in the CryEngine3 and we vaguely know about C++. We understand .NET, Java, Javascript and HTML, and my friend know Python. We just need some good book recommendations! Thanks!

C++, what is this 1999

C++ In a Nutshell is a very good reference book

What's wrong with C++?

What is a good programming language for 2014?

C++ Primer, 5th edition; fantastic book, highly recommend it. As to what Sashap said, C++ is an incredibly important and powerful language, perfectly capable of 2014 standards.

Ill second brennanriddell on C++ primer (not to be mistaken for C++ primer plus).

Absolutely nothing is wrong with programming in C++. There is a large stigma with C++ in newer programmers since they don't exactly like writing a large mass of lines. If you've been programming for a longer time or just are born with it naturally, the small performance bump is totally worth the larger amount of lines written. 

Sorry guys, i respect your decision to use c++, that was just a joke comment and i completely understand. After i started Writing in Java script i could not look back. Just my opinion. Good luck in your journey of code :D

While I respect anyone's decision to have a favorite language and live there, why is JS your favorite? Have you branched out from that comfort zone? If so why do you keep staying with JS? If not why haven't you branched out?

I have to agree C++ Primer is a great C++ book to really learn the language.  It got me through Freshman year many years ago.  The C++ programming Language is also a good book.  It’s by Bjarne Stroustrup’s—the guy who created C++.  But I would start with C++ Primer

 

there's no javascript api for cryengine. javascript and c++ are two completely different languages for different purposes, there's really no point in comparing them. if you want to make a game with advanced graphics then cryengine and c++ is a good idea but if you want to make a web based game for tablets and what not then javascript and unity maybe is a better choice.
