Actually, at the Univ. of Minn., I never had a single class that required it. I bought it anyway, as it was a much better reference book on the language itself; rather, most of my classes required a book that focused on programming methodologies and concepts and taught C/C++ syntax sporadically or in an Appendix. The U's C++ programming class [for engineers/non-majors] used Deitel & Deitel's C++ book. Additionally, a link posted previously proved to contain a lot of good information, except that link is dead now. Instead, see www.techbooksforfree.com/ccpp.shtml. Hopefully one of those will give you what you need.
