Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
The Beginner's Guide to C++ eliminates the complexity of C++ by introducing classes in manageable bits. Yaroshenko is a master of the learning-by-examples-school of teaching: He marks "Try it out!" on every other page and features a simple problem to illustrate a recently introduced concept.
This huge volume is one of the more unorthodox works in the C++ genre. Yaroshenko sometimes identifies concepts in an odd but interesting way; for example, the chapter on arrays and iteration is titled "Working with Large Amounts of Data" and the chapter on input/output functions is titled "Using Disks." The book is also peppered with three-dimensional black-and-white graphs, which start to look psychedelic after all-night programming sessions. However, The Beginner's Guide to C++ provides more detail than many other C++ introductions and includes dozens of examples that illustrate how to create classes.

Great for the Novice,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Beginner's Guide to C++ (Beginner's Guides) (Paperback)
I found this book very helpful, especially since I am truly a novice in programming. This book gives a good step-by-step explanation of the program examples. It is simple and not too technical. It gave me a jump start into other books that get deeper into C++ programming.I think it is a great starting tool if you have never programmed before! Highly recommended!

Doesn't get any better than this.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Beginner's Guide to C++ (Beginner's Guides) (Paperback)
If you really want to program successfully, this is your book. This guy knows what he is doing and explains it in a clear, precise way. Ive bought a lot of programming books in the past, to name a few: C for dummies Volume 1 and 2(excellent), Teach yourself C in 21 days(intermediate/advanced), C++ for dummies(sucks), and many others. The Beginners Guide to C++ is by far the best one. Not only does the book explain how to do things almost perfectly, but it explains why and how it works. I won't say anymore, but let me end by saying I highly recommend this book and would buy any more books made by Yaroshenko.

Gives you a rock-solid base for starting your C++ knowledge,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Beginner's Guide to C++ (Beginner's Guides) (Paperback)
I'm 15, and I understood evey concept in this book. I've read many others which confuse you with a lot of technical words, but not this one. They do define everything with the same technical jargan, but then they go back and explain all the examples almost line by line to show you how all the parts fit together. I would definately tell anyone interested in starting programming to use this book to build a rock-solid understanding of the workings of C++
