I just got a new free second hand book
What the title says, and its title 'C++ Primer 2nd Edition'. I found it and happened to get it (since it was free.) does anyone know much about it? I mean, I'm interested in programming, but don't know anything about it, except basic rules. Is the book old and outdated? Suggestions? 
I shall be on leave until I say so...

What year was it printed? It does not really matter, but with many program languages certain things are being replaced, especially in the basic ones.

June 1993. Quite old now, I guess. Maybe I should dump it?

No, don't dump it, it is still of value ... it will come in handy most of the time, but it is a little outdated. Nevertheless, you can still get some valuable information from it. But I think W3C is better.
