5.0 out of 5 stars Be careful of other reviewers, Chapters 6 and 7 ARE GOOD!!, September 8, 1999
By A Customer
I have read several "teach yourself" books from various companies and have found this to be up there as one of the best. In fact, I felt that it was well above and beyond every other book I have read in the "24 hour" quickstart category.

If a programer is going to be programing in an object oriented language THEY NEED (not should but need) to understand the concepts seperate to any one language. It is not the purpose of this book, nor should it be, to explain OO programming. If this book was to contain "the greater picture within the overall framework of object-oriented programming" it would have to be double the size and would be a "teach youreself in a couple of weeks" book.

PLEASE REMEMBER - this book is ONLY a quickstart guide, not a comprehensive language or object-oriented programming reference manual!!

Anyone with any OO knowledge will find this book to be the clearest and fastest way of learing the basics of the C++ language. Jessy Liberty has shown that he can explain concepts clearly and concisely. This book was a very good begining for me and has allowed me to go on to further reading and programming of Visual C++ and C Builder with confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars C++ almost seems too easy, June 6, 2001
By Rodrigo A. Castilho (Porto Alegre, RS Brazil) - See all my reviews
The text is clear and the lessons follow a smooth and logical sequence, with no mix-ups. If you're getting started in C++, I strongly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource for the novice programmer., October 30, 1999
By A Customer
I am currently working my way through your wonderfully informative book, "Teach Yourself C++ in 24 Hours". I've found it to be a well written, sometimes light-hearted approach, to learning what can sometimes be an overwhelming topic. I am a novice at programming, and as such, I am seeking to learn as much as possible in the near future. You book has certainly given me a head start. Again, I sincerely appreciate your clean, concise, writing style, and hope that you continue to publish your excellent series of instructional books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best I've Found So Far

1.0 out of 5 stars Examples, step by steps but no explanation
The book doesn't explain why you are doing. Just type and test it. It can be great for someone who doesn't have programmed nothing in his life and gets surprised with the magic... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't even deserve the one star.
Is this book for new programmers? In a word: NO.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good for C programmer who want to start C++

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good book for beginners
I should have read the negative book reviews this book have before buying it. I'm a "wannabe" programmer with no previous knowledge of C++. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Use this book only as a secondary source
I didn't like this book. As someone brand new to C++ and programming, I found that the book didn't _explain_ very deeply about what you needed to do in order to program. Read more
