Deitel & Deitel C++ How to Program∞ - This is my favorite book that I used to learn how to program in C. It is also my favorite C reference. My book is the second edition and they are now to the 5th, so I am guessing that it is the same or of a higher quality now.

DATA STRUCTURES with C++ Using STL Second Edition∞ - This book is a must have if you are new to programming and don't know much about data structures or the STL. It provides great explainations of various data structures, their implementation, and suitability. I rarely use it for a reference book, though, as looking up quick stuff about STL is easy enough on the net.
