Using C++ provides the essential pieces of C++ programming information needed by beginning-intermediate programmers to execute the most frequently used tasks and functions.

• Jam packed with relevant, hands-on examples, rule-of-thumbs, jump-tables and enrichment-pointers that teach you C++ concepts and procedures in a fast, compact and concise manner

4.0 out of 5 stars Great C++ book for beginners, January 3, 2001

This review is from: Using C++ (Paperback)

It's hard to find a good c++ book for beginner programmers. Most C++ books assume that you are fimilar with c but this book doesn't required you to know c, it guide to step by step from gound up. I'm teaching myself VC++ using this book. Recommended to all beginner C++ programmers! Ivor Horton's "Beginning Visual C++ 6" is all highly recommended.

This book is very good for beginners who are intending to learn C++ or for experienced guys who just want to brush up their C++ skills.. the only con i can think of this book is the author should have put in some exercises and their solutions in addition to the illustrative examples so that it caters to the more inquisitive audiences... all in all this book covers all aspects of C++ and you will surely get your moneys worth with this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good C++ introduction - but a little simple!, August 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Using C++ (Paperback)

This book is a good one for people who has never before programmed in C++. For those who has done that, I would not recommend this book. Then you should read C++: The Complete Reference instead! The explanations of templates, namespaces, exception handling and operator overloading are a little too simple for me. Also, the last part of the book, The Standard C++ Library, breaks the tutorial form of the book into a pure reference form!!! One of the programs has a very nast bug in it that should have been checked. It completely crashed my system, and I spent the rest of the day figuring out what went wrong!
