This review is from: Handbook of C++ Syntax: A Reference to the C++ Programming Language (Paperback)

Great condensed reference for beginning C++. Could be expanded to cover more compound complex syntax. i.e. syntax for declaring an array of pointers in multidimensional array.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Handbook of C++ Syntax is definitely worth checking out, August 9, 2011

This review is from: Handbook of C++ Syntax: A Reference to the C++ Programming Language (Paperback)

"The basic concepts of a programming language can be very difficult to grasp with no prior experience in development, and C++ is no exception.
If you 're not a Computer Science student or graduate just like me, you will find this book extremely helpful for a very simple reason: the author focuses on the syntax of C++.
Libraries and examples are kept separate in the early stages, because they're so much larger, but the syntax of C++ turns out to be relatively simple.
Variables, arrays, strings and functions are explained clearly without needless repetition or theory.
Only what is relevant is taught here in a highly condensed style.
This is the best book you're likely to come across as a C++ newbie and I would even recommend it to seasoned developers for its more advanced features on Preprocessors and Type Conversions."

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written, concise and easy to grasp!, August 2, 2011

This review is from: Handbook of C++ Syntax: A Reference to the C++ Programming Language (Paperback)

I have been looking for a way to learn how to get started with C++ without any prior knowledge about programming. Almost every book I've looked at assumes you already know at least something about programming. This book doesn't. I read the whole thing in just a couple days and just absorbed everything, it is extremely well written and easy to get into and understand.

It provided just the right balance of a fast pace, but not too fast as to be overwhelming. It's concise and always to the point; no extra filler material.

I highly recommend this book.
