Dear lavaspan,

Good Luck!

Yep! But not as the first text. In my idea, the best book as a
first text is: "Accelerated C++", just take a look at:
http://www.acceleratedcpp.com

Anyway, after reading the first text, I recommend TC++PL, and a
look to the two other famous "general purpose" C++ books, i.e.,
"The C++ Primer," and "C++: How to Programme". (Look for the
latest versions.)

There are not so much options, but GCC, Comeau C++, and Intel C++
are the most Standard compliant ones. (Don't forget that there is
no fully Standard compliant compiler.)

Hmmm... It completely depends on your purposes; If you want to do
things which I call "Developery stuff," you've got to bypass deep
issues in C++. If not, then there are enough stuff to consider in
C++ itself.

Yeah, I believe.

It again, actually, dependes on your needs and interests. As I
told, there are enough stuff to focus on in C++ itself. But you
can, as well, get into the different applications using C++.
