C/C++

Thinking in C++, Second Edition. Brief introduction and links to legal PDFs here.

“Regardless of the book you choose, I encourage you to look at the following C++ videos (courtesy of my colleague):

The key is to use the modern features of C++, that are so much cleaner and elegant (and the right thing to do) rather than extrapolate from plain old C. Having said that, I would look at Stroustrup’s recent books (C++ 11 at least, preferabley C++ 14 or higher) and also cplusplus.com which has tons of examples for every possible command (I teach an OOP course that uses C++ and I only use the website for that.”
