Bruce Eckel is the author of numerous books and articles about computer programming. He also gives frequent lectures and seminars for computer programmers. His best known works are Thinking in Java and Thinking in C++, aimed at programmers wanting to learn the Java or C++ programming languages, particularly those with little experience of object-oriented programming. Most reviewers consider the books to be better written and more pedagogic than most introductory texts. Mr Eckel was a founding member of the ANSI/ISOC++ standard committee. Eckel has since made both the forementioned books available for all to download freely. [1] However, his recent book - 4th edition of Thinking in Java is no longer available in a free electronic form.

Approved download site for free electronic versions of Eckel's Thinking books.
BruceEckel is the author of Thinking In C++, Volume 1 (2nd Edition) and Thinking In C++, Volume 2, which are two books that you could use to continue your C++ education.
Eckel is one of the very few programming book authors who continue to allow free downloads of their books even after they are published.
Eckel has provided an excellent index which is composed of a large number of hyperlinks that will take you to an exact location in his book.
This is chronicled in Bruce Tate's book "Beyond Java," which should probably be titled "Why Ruby is Better than Java." The book is roughly edited; you'll find yourself thinking "haven't I read this paragraph before?" in any number of places, but that's a disappointing experience I've had with several O'Reilly books of late.
