[OT] Good C++ book for a Python programmer

[Petr Prikryl]

Try also the Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C++".
It is also available on-line for free at
http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html

I like the book because it explains the things
very clearly. After reading it, one will stop 
to think and say that C++ is "only C with 
strange OO things on the top".
