Looking for a good C++/.net book [closed]

I have recently started to feel that I need to greatly improve my C++ skills especially in the realm of .net. I graduated from a good four year university with a degr开发者_如何学编程ee in computer science about 9 months ago and I have since been doing full time contract work for a small software company in my local area. Most of my work has been done using Java/lisp/cocoa/XML and before that most of my programming in my senior year was in java/C#. I did a decent amount of C++ in my Sophomore year and in my free time before that but I feel that my general knowledge of C++/.net is very lacking for the opportunities that are now coming my way. Can anyone recommend a good book that could help me get up too speed? I feel I do not need a very basic introduction to C++ but something that covers the fundamentals of .net would be good for me. So basically what I need is a book or books that would be good for a .net novice and a C++ developer who is just beyond novice. Also, a book that would help bein an interview by giving me a conversional understanding of C++ would be great. Thanks a lot!.

Depends what you actually want to learn:

• If you want to learn about .Net, I would learn C# rather than C++.

• If you want to learn C++, do not learn C++/CLI - learn the language described by the C++ Standard. For C++ books, see The Definitive C++ Book Guide and List. I personally would recommend Accelerated C++.

I'd suggest C++/CLI In Action. It's one of the few C++/CLI books specifically discussion the issues that arise when mixing .NET into C++.
