Thats a great reference to have - I wouldn't be without it - but it's also a
bit too encyclopedic from some people.
Lots of people like Accelerated C++ by Adrew Koenig and Barbara Moo as an
introductory text. Bruce Eckels book "Thinking in C++" is also quite
popular, and is available online for free (yes, free): http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html.
When you need something beyond introductory, check out Scott Meyers classic
C++ books before graduating to Herb Sutters books. Amazon is your friend
here.
If you're coming from C# and going to C++/CLI, then Dean Wills' "Pro Visual
C++ 2005 for C# Developers" is good. (Apress Press).

As you've seen from the other responses, knowing your background has a lot
to do with what is being recommended.
If you are, by any chance, an absolute beginner, this book may be worth a
look.
In conjunction with a good C++ book, also please read "The Art of
computer programming" by Donald Knuth and the C++ ISO standard
Reference PDF.
Also if you want to become a more advanced C++ developer in the
future, learn Assembly. Almost all very very difficult C++ bugs
require you to debug in assembly.
Good luck and have fun... Remember C++ is your friend !
yeah, thanks a lot for your point.
I was a VC++ developer, I just wanna pick it up right now.
I really want to learn some assembly now, any suggestions?
