ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

I haven't touched C++ since early in college. Most of college I spent time in Java. Since college I have worked in odd collection of languages: Python, JavaScript, BASH, and Java. I still have my old C++ books, most notably Deitel's 'C++ How to Program, 2nd Edition'. I need a refresher course, and it seems in the last 10 years or so C++ has changed a little. (I followed the helloworld program and g++ told me I was using depreciated headers) The little re-reading of Deitel's book I have done is a little tiresome; it seems geared towards beginners.
Can some one recommend a good intermediate level C++ book? I'm not sure if I should get a straight C++ reference or a 'new to c++, but not new to programming' book. Should I just get the latest edition of Deitel's book?
No I have the latest edition of that book. I have also read into the edition you have they havn't changed very much. If you want more object oriented stuff I have found C++ program Design by James P. Cohoon and Jack W. Davidson. I have been using it in my C++ class over the Deitel book and my grade thanked me lol. I like it quite a bit
I've been using "C++ from the ground up" by Herbert Schildt as a refresher/reference after graduating and using C++ in my first job out of school. Usually only need to look up a couple concepts or a keyword or something like that, but when I am stumped it does a good job of explaining things.

Every day when God sits at His computer, he faces the big question: earth.config- file corrupted Reboot universe? (Y/N)
nice one
Regarding the question, i would recommend never to read *any* book of Herbert Schildt. If you doubt what i said just spend sometime on reading the reviews about his books especially from people who work in *nix environment and are quite expert in programming.
C++ Primer 4th edition by Stan Lippman is good for intermediate level.
Ofcourse C++ bible is The C++ Programming Language 3rd edition.
