Good books for C++/programming beginner?

There's lots and lots of beginner stuff out there, but for the real deal you can't beat Bjarne Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language."

Like everyone else I'd look at something else like maybe Python these days before C++ but get a beginners' book. Analogy from C++ to some other languages is like driving 18 wheeler semi with manual shifting compared to riding a bus.

Is C++ a random choice? you should have a better reason to learn that one or it could be a lot of work for nothing. also, tutorials online aren't a good way to learn C++ - not in depth enough.

Many instructors cover plain, pure, venerable C and then move on toward covering C++ in it's full glory.
