As promised, I am listing a few books and resources on C++, so you can plan a way to improve on your C++ knowledge.

I think a good start, is a good beginner book out of the following:

• Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 24 Hours: Complete Starter Kit (Sams Teach Yourself): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sams-Teach-Yourself-C%2B%2B-Hours/dp/0672326817/
• C++ Primer (Paperback) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sams-Teach-Yourself-C%2B%2B-Hours/dp/0672326817/
  

At the same time you could read this book, which is aimed who want to learn C++ by example in a short amount of time:
Accelerated C++: Practical Programming by Example (C++ in Depth) (Paperback) :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Accelerated-C%2B%2B-Practical-Programming-Example/dp/020170353X
The classic book on the C++ syntax is the one written by its creator, Stroustrup, but it can feel a bit long:
The C++ Programming Language, Special Edition (Hardcover)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/C%2B%2B-Programming-Language-Special/dp/0201700735/
Once you have acquired the basics, you should get knowledge of:

• The standard library (standard collections and algorithms), previously known as Standard Template Library
• Design patterns
• Advanced knowledge of C++ and standard library

Standard Library
The following two books are the best on the subject:

• The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference (Hardcover): http://www.amazon.co.uk/C%2B%2B-Standard-Library-Tutorial-Reference/dp/0201379260/
• The STL Tutorial and Reference Guide: C++ Programming with the Standard Template Library (Professional Computing) (Hardcover): http://www.amazon.co.uk/STL-Tutorial-Reference-Guide-Professional/dp/0201379236
• Design patterns
  
  You could read the classic one on the subject: Design patterns : elements of reusable object-oriented software (Hardcover) : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Design-patterns-elements-reusable-object-oriented/dp/0201633612/
  However apparently this one gives a simpler and quicker overview of all of the classic design patterns: Head First Design Patterns (Head First) (Paperback) : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Head-First-Design-Patterns/dp/0596007124/
  
  Advanced knowledge of C++ and STL
  The following books are some of the best which can bring your C++ at a superior level (look them up on Amazon to get more details):
  Exceptional C++, More Exceptional C++, Effective C++, More Effective C++, Effective STL, C++ Coding Standards
  
  Once you have reached a good levelo by reading some of these books you can go to yet another level by reading the book "Modern C++ Design". If you understand everything you read in this book you can consider yourself a guru...
  
  Hope you find these tips useful.

C++靠看书是不行的,没实际经验面试一问就漏了.

C++在算法、模型研究阶段用得多吗？ 这个阶段应该是高级工具更方便。

学做软件可参考的东西太多了，太多了。

EnglandWhite

书是工具，每个人学习的时候都从看书开始。CQF上课的时候都是用的Excel VBA，但是他们鼓励大家课后能用C＋＋，应为它是Industry用的标准程序语言。

同意楼上。C++已经是个benchmark了，有的地方虽然用不到很多C++，但是面试还是考察这个。

EnglandWhite

同意，现在有很多用人单位用Java，C#,看不同的地方。但C＋＋是目前最通用的。

很好,学习了我本来就是理工科出身的,都没有学的怎么仔细

ariszheng

其实 C++、C，C#仅仅都是编程语言， 我觉得对于解决实际问题而言 算法和数据结构更重要  语言都是实现这些的工具而已。

newcomm

部分同意楼上。如果做软件产品，语言的熟练也是很重要的。

讨论了半天，大家抓紧实际赶快学。
