This is the updated version of the resources list posted last month.
Updates:
-Now application-neutral. The old list had video game-related programming
books.
-Required reading section added.
-Separate section about the Thinking in C++ books now.
-C++ Programming in Easy Steps was removed from the beginners' list. Not a
bad book, but others are better.
-You Can Do It! by Francis Glassborow added to the beginner books based on
recommendations from people on this newsgroup.
-Herb Sutter's upcoming book "Exceptional C++ Style" added.
-Visual Studio magazine removed from the magazines section. They don't seem
to do anything besides VB.NET and C#.
-Herb Sutter's website (www.gotw.ca) added.
-Nicolai M. Josuttis' website (www.josuttis.com) added.
-C++ Annotations site (www.icce.rug.nl/documents/cplusplus/) added.

"There could instead be a list of recommended web sites (accu.org for
book-reviews, Dewhursts and Sutters and Stroustrups for general C++ info and
so on)."
If possible, I'd like to know who Dewhurst is and where to find his website.
Also, while I could just delete most of the content of the list and link to
accu.org, I'd rather just list the ones I've found recommended in various
places so that everyone can go straight to looking into them.
All books are available on Amazon and probably on eBay. Please reply to
this message if you feel it could be improved in any way (removing books,
adding books, recommending books, general suggestions, etc.).
