Choosing a book for a beginner in c++. Which of these two is better?

Hello everyone, before starting to study C ++, I stopped for the time being on these two books. I have experience in Java (little practice, more study) and asp.net with c # (learned with zero theory, only practice). Both options are at the basic-intermediate level. I can invent and write not very difficult software solutions, but there are too many gaps, respectively, Google is used every half hour xD
1) Sams Teach Yourself C ++ in One Hour a Day (7th Edition) by Siddhartha Rao
www.amazon.com/Sams-Teach- Yourself-Hour-Edition/dp...
2) C++ Primer (5th Edition) by Stanley B. Lippman
www.amazon.com/Primer-5th-Edition-Stanley-Lippman/...
Of all the books I've seen so far, these are my favorite. I like the first option for the design and the fact that they use MS Visual Studio, to which I am already very accustomed.
The second book is generally better than the first. There are a lot of good jobs out there. But here is the big problem and what are the questions:
1. Where can I get answers to the Lippman tasks?
2. What kingu would you choose if you were me?
3. In what language is it better to read such books? (I'm fine with English, but I still think there will be difficulties)
Yes, I understand, there are millions of opinions and everyone is different. So let's choose between these two options) After, I'll read the Strauss, because. everyone praises him :)

I completely agree with maagames.ru .
You need to start with simple books that will give you basic knowledge of syntax and constructions. In addition to books, I would also recommend cppstudio.com (there is a series of articles there) and C ++ courses on intuit.ru. And then read something more serious, Stroustrup (it's like a bible), then move on to even more serious ones from the C ++ in depth series.
And I would not pay attention to the binding to some kind of IDE. And for practice, I recommend QtCreator, because. it is unlike MS Visual Studio:
1. Cross-platform (what if in the future you will need to write not only under Windows but also under Linux or OS X?)
2. The code typed in it will work everywhere, tk. it does not add left header files to the code.
But that's all my IMHO...

Stepping into the World of C ++, you will have to think not "first or second", but what other books to read?
For starters, you can flip through any book from the series "24 hours / 21 days / an hour a day", and then read normal books. The list has already been cited here many times. But there is a LOT to read. Always.

Better start with this ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html
It will be many times easier to understand the basics of programming than if you immediately sit on the pros.

For me, the best book for learning c++ is www.amazon.com/Primer-Plus-Edition-Developers-Libr...
