C++ students/Masters please read

I've taken a AP computer science course last year and got a 3 on my A test :[ dunno how it really happened since I thought I got mostly all the multiple choice right...but regardless. I'm wanting to re-learn the language again in preparation for the AB test this year, can anyone recommend any sites/books/programs they've used to learn the language? I'm a quick learner and very keen on learning the language. I could have retaken the course again this year (my junior year) but our AP comp sky teacher left to minnesota for his wife's job and they have yet to find a replacement. Any information is appreciated

As far as books go, you should pick up a copy of C++ Primer (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201824701/qid=1030670062/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_2/103-6828522-2066244?v=glance&s=books&n=507846). It's an excellent book, and even gives you a taste of the Standard Template Library (STL). I'm on my 2nd copy of the book (I wore out the first one from use), it a great reference even after you've used C++ for years.

My wife has a Masters of Science in MSBIT, and she recommended a series by Peter Wright.

There are several series. The Beginning Visual Basic 6 book is used at University of Michigan and is well accredited. There is several series, almost as many as you can think of, and they are not a "for dummies" series or anything like that.

There is a C++ book, I'm positive.

Publisher is wrox. They are all red in color books.

Really I think, the best way to learn is to try stuff, so download sample code from the internet and study it and once you figure out what everything does, comment it VERY well. Then save the projects as Title names such as: Link Lists Examples or Circular Link Lists or Pointers, etc, etc. Then look back whenever you need it, Eventually you just build a huge library of C++ code to refrence yourself on.
