I've grown to like Lippman's C++ Primer, too. (Need to specify the author's name here, since there at least THREE "C++ Primer" titled books on the shelves.) There are a couple of things that get mentioned only in passing, so you need to be a little careful at times. Otherwise, though, I like it, too (and it's a lot less expensive than the ARM). Joe

I'm finding that the best thing about Lippman's C++ Primer (2d ed.) is reading it twice, then three times, with efforts at real-world coding in between each read. Things that didn't compute on the first read, compute much better the second time around. But I'm still looking for a good book containing examples of usage on the Mac, specifically, with toolbox calls, handles, etc.

Thanks, I'll look for it. I have something by him already, but I can't remember what (I'm on the road just now).
