The Horstmann 2-volume series is probably the best books for someone learning Java, period. I wished there was a book like this for other languages: both comprehensive and up-to-date. For C++, I guess the closest would be Stroustrup, but even as the creator of the language, Stroustrup's books just aren't as comfortable to read as Horstmann's.
