boning up on c,c++

["Stephen Adler" <user=65@nabble.blu.org>]

 Guys, 

I had a phone interview with a wall street recruiting firm. They like to 
ask you a bunch of c,c++ technical questions over the phone before the 
actually invite you for a face to face interview. Well, I've been coding 
c for 20 years and c++ for a good 15 years, and I've realized that I'm a 
bit out of date on the language. Basically I use enough of the language 
to get my work done, but I skip over a lot of the newer features because 
I never went through formal training in the language syntax. 
(for example, one question was... "What's more efficient, initializing 
variables inside the constructor through explicit assignment or using 
initializers?" Also lots of questions on the use of "const". Anyway, I 
realize that I need to do a syntax review of the language, (Its 
something I should do anyway) and I was wondering if you guys could 
recommend a c++ book which is brief but covers all the modern usages of c++. 

Thanks in advance. 

cheers. Steve.
