I'm wanting to learn C++. Is it still worth it to start off with K&R? Obviously I would probably go through K&R later, but it might be better to start off with something more relevant.



If you're already a programmer, I'd recommend this book: http://www.acceleratedcpp.com/ It shares some of the same qualities of K&R (short, concise) but is specific to C++, is a good book in general, and won't swamp you.


Thanks!
