Hi. This must be one of the most asked question in CS, but bear with me for a second.

I need a C++ book, and the amount of possible reference makes it hard to make a good choice.

Ideally, this book doesn't start from the very beginning (e.g. "There are many types : int, float, ...), and explains the many subtlety, best practices and traps of modern C++.

I learned Java in school, and used Python a lot for work and side projects. I've used a bit of C++ throughout school and for particular projects requiring specific libraries, but do not have extensive knowledge of it (up to now, I've refrained from using "new", or any kind of pointer more complicated than an iterator for fear of screwing things up ... yeah, I know). Obviously, this is not enough, and I would like to go further.

Any Ideas ?
