在伦敦对冲基金工作多年的quant学习C++的经验

   As promised, I am listing a few books and resources on C++, so you can plan a way to improve on your C++ knowledge.

I think a good start, is a good beginner book out of the following:
Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 24 Hours: Complete
Starter Kit (Sams Teach Yourself) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sams-Teach-Yourself-C++-Hours/dp/0672326817/
C++ Primer (Paperback) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sams-Teach-Yourself-C++-Hours/dp/0672326817/

    At the same time you could read this book, which is aimed who want to learn C++ by example
in a short amount of time:
Accelerated
C++: Practical Programming by Example (C++ in Depth) (Paperback) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Accelerated-C++-Practical-Programming-Example/dp/020170353X

    The classic book on the C++ syntax is the one
written by its creator, Stroustrup, but it can feel a bit long:
The C++ Programming Language, Special Edition
(Hardcover)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/C++-Programming-Language-Special/dp/0201700735/

    Once you have acquired the basics, you should get knowledge of:The
standard library (standard collections and algorithms),previously known as Standard Template Library,Design patterns,Advanced
knowledge of C++ and standard library

Standard Library

    The following two books are the best on the subject:
The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and
Reference (Hardcover) http://www.amazon.co.uk/C++-Standard-Library-Tutorial-Reference/dp/0201379260/
The STL Tutorial and Reference Guide:
C++ Programming with the Standard Template Library (Professional Computing) (Hardcover) http://www.amazon.co.uk/STL-Tutorial-Reference-Guide-Professional/dp/0201379236

Design patterns

    You could read the classic one on the subject:
Design patterns : elements of reusable
object-oriented software (Hardcover) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Design-patterns-elements-reusable-object-oriented/dp/0201633612/ 
However apparently this one gives a simpler and quicker overview of all of the classic design patterns:

[align=left]Head First Design Patterns (Head First) (Paperback)http://www.amazon.co.uk/Head-First-Design-Patterns/dp/0596007124/[/align]

Advanced knowledge of C++ and STL

    The following books are some of the best which can bring your C++ at a superior level (look them up on Amazon to get more details):

Exceptional C++, More Exceptional C++, Effective C++, More Effective C++, Effective STL, C++ Coding Standards

    Once you have reached a good levelo by reading some of these books you can go to yet another level by reading the book "Modern C++ Design". If you understand everything you read in this book you can consider yourself a guru...

    Hope you find these tips useful.
