    Unlike many C++ books, this seems to cover pretty much everything - from getting started through to the meat of C++ and also covering the Standard Template Library (STL). It is written in a somewhat didactic style with plenty of full examples, end of section summaries and tests (Q&A) to ensure the principles have hit home. Unlike many other C++ texts, it is clearly aimed at teaching from scratch, rather than 'starting from C'.

    The format is great - color is used for section and for syntax highlighting which aids reading and comprehension.

    There are a number of 'tips' scattered throughout the text highlighting frequent misunderstandings and programming pitfalls. The title is justified; the book teaches the fundamentals of C++ AND also how to program - hopefully how to write a good, well structured, easily maintainable C++ program.

    The appendices are available in pdf only - a shame the entire book isn't also available that way also. I suspect the appendices were not included in the printed book to (understandably) save paper.

    The one niggle with this is that it's a sizable tome already and in order to keep it below 'telephone book' size, it is printed on very thin paper (thinner than that in my bible). The thin paper causes the reverse side to be visible and also means that care is required not to tear the pages.

    In all, this is an excellent book for both learning and reference. Highly recommended.

    I purchased this book for a programming class that I was taking. We relied pretty heavily on the book throughout the class...especially for assignments. The assignments were always interesting and were very "real world" assignments. I felt like everything that I programmed could be used in day-to-day life.

    The author provides plenty of example code and the book even comes with a copy of Visual Basics.

    Whether you are just a beginner or you just want to touch up a foundation that you've already built, this book is great!

    I bought this book because of their teaching approach. For example, color highlighting makes it easy to memorize and quick to search. This book has a huge number of good tips.

    This book gives the whole program and highlights the parts that are important. Some books show only important parts.

  • Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2012

    Although this book is more comprehensive than others I have purchased to learn C++, it has significant flaws. Some important concepts are not very well explained and others that are covered more comprehensively take too long to get to the point, which detracts from the learning experience. The reason I have given it a low rating is that much of the material doesn't add value because it is written in a more complicated way than necessary.

    Increasingly sophisticated concepts are developed by repeating exercises with new components included. Although repetition is usually good, it can add a lot of unnecessary additional work if it is not done well and makes the book difficult to use as a reference. An example is that a table of C++ operators is included several times in the book, each time being updated when new ones are added. It would be better to just put a table up front, or at the back, with short explanations. I would be happy to develop the details later.

    There are many important points that are made about good programming practice and C++ idiosyncrasies, but there is no way one can remember all of them, as they are scattered throughout the book in particular chapters. Some sections are well written but others are missing important parts of what should be in the explanations.

    Perhaps the most valuable part of each chapter is the summary, as it gets to the point and sometimes explains the concepts better than the sections in the chapter in just a few words.

    The aforementioned issues along with the high cost, compared with other books on C++, means it is questionable value for money. Although it is less comprehensive, I learnt more in a few days from C++ in easy steps by McGrath, which costs a fraction of the price, than I did in a few weeks of working with this book.

    im taking a c++ class at a junior college to enhance my programming skills, and so far i like this book. it seems pretty reader friendly and came with a cd of the c++ program. its really nice that i could put it on my computer and be able to use it at my leisure, if not only for class assignments. the book is a bit pricey, but as a recent college graduate, Im used to it! i recommend this book!
