Hello,

I'm a beggining C++ programmer, in fact I have just started reading a programming book three days ago. It's called Sam's Teach Yourself C++ Second Edition. I don't think the book is all that great though.

I am reading it more as an introduction to the basic concepts, I plan on reading a more comprehensive book after I'm done.

I checked Amazon.com for C++ books, but I can't find one that clearly lots of people have tried and liked.

Do any of you have recommendations for introductory and advanced C++ books?

Second of all once I learn C++ I will start GUI programming and I'm not sure which toolkit to use.

I have done quite some research and it looks like the best one is Qt 3.1 for numerous reasons. One being that it is the toolkit one of my favore Desktop Enviroments is made from (KDE) and there are many great applications like Qt Designer which make designing interfaces simple. It is also multi-platform, uses the native look n feel of the OS you are using. In addition it is easy to use and very efficent.

I'm not sure if you need this information to find a good toolkit for me, but I use Kdevelop as my IDE.
