Comment on Ask HN: Learning C++ for Java developers

Comments

I used this book [0] for my C++ course at uni a few semesters ago and found it rather easy to follow and Weiss does a good job going through the differences between Java and C++.

The biggest difference for me from Java is the fact you have to manage your own memory as there is no garbage collector to clean up after you in C++. This book covers memory management, operator overloading, and functors quite well.
