[dundee] C++ books

[Keir Lawson]

"Accelerated C++" looks good as already know the basic theory of programing (from java).  my friend has also recomended to me  "C++: The Complete Reference" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0072226803/qid=1046011958/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/102-3152687-2109756#product-details)
> is it any good?  i have borrowed some books from my schools library and have researched some of the basics of C++ however these books were witten in 1998 and 1997 and so i would like a more up-to-date book.  i was wondering how you generate a random number in C++ (none of my books will tell me)
 
thanks
