The Waite Group's C++ primer plus: Teach yourself object-oriented programming

Rating:
Summary: Good introductory programming book
Review: This a great book for those who have no programming experiance. It teaches the basics of OOP and C++, as well as good programming style. Questions with answers and programming exercises make this a great book for teaching or self-directed study. However, since it assumes no programming knowledge, it can be tedious for those who already know C. If you already know C another book would be a better idea.

Summary: Steven Prata's C++ Primer Plus is excellent and reusable
Review: This book is the reason I decided to become a computer scientist. The deepness of information provided, the great examples, and particularly useful exercises were instrumental in getting past my fear of "coding". I still use the book from time to time to read over basic c++ concepts that I may have forgotten. It's the best beginner book out there!
