Al Stevens: Teach Yourself C++ (1990)

The third and final book from Al Stevens that helped me grow as a programmer. This was the original book that helped me initially learn C++ and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Later editions of this book are available and expand upon features continually added to the C++ language and libraries.
