Yes I like those too, but these are rather weak students. I might just stick with Thinking in C++ but I just said I'd throw it out there to see if anyone had other suggestions.

I really like effective c++ and more effective c++ but these books are really aimed at those who know c++ and want to improve so this may not be what your after. Thanks.

Folks, This is an odd question. I haven't needed to use a c++ book in years, but now find myself in need of one. Basically, I have to teach a second-year undergraduate course in Object-Oriented design using c++ and I need to recommend a good book for my students. I'm therefore looking for a text which I can get in some kind of accessible format, (so I can read it myself) and also which students will find useful. The current recommended book is the Deitel one which I personally don't like. So any thoughts are welcome on this one.
