Learning C++ for Java Programmers?

The Real Joe Faith asks: "The O'Reilly book 'Java in a Nutshell' used to include a really handy introduction to Java specifically aimed at C++ programmers. It meant an experienced programmer could re-use their knowledge and get up to speed quickly. But what about going the other way? I know a fair amount of Java but, for my sins, have always avoided C++. Now I need to learn it. Fast. Not just the syntax, but also about the various standard libraries out there. Now that Java is the standard language on most computer science courses I guess there will be a few people in the same boat. Can anyone recommend a good book (or any other information source)?" For those Java programmers among us who have gone this route, what books did you use to assist you in the transition to C++? How well did these books work for you?

Lying during job interviews

[DaoudaW]

Man, you don't need to learn C++, you need to learn to be more truthful during job interviews. End of sermon.

Now about c++. Boot linux, bring up kdevelop, create a console project and start writing.

What's that? You need to program windows apps! OMG!! You are a big liar!
