With over 250,000 sold, Harvey and Paul Deitel's C++ How to Program is the world's best-selling introduction to C++ programming. Now, this classic has been thoroughly updated! The Deitels' groundbreaking How to Program series offers unparalleled breadth and depth of programming concepts and intermediate-level topics for further study. The books in this series feature hundreds of complete, working programs with thousands of lines of code. Deitels' C++ How to Program is the most comprehensive, practical introduction to C++ ever published-with hundreds of hands-on exercises, roughly 250 complete programs written and documented for easy learning, and exceptional insight into good programming practices, maximizing performance, avoiding errors, debugging, and testing. The updated Fifth Edition now includes a new early classes pedagogy-classes and objects are introduced in Chapter 3 and used throughout the book as appropriate. The new edition uses string and vector classes to make earlier examples more object-oriented. Large chapters are broken down into smaller, more manageable pieces. A new OOD/UML ATM case study replaces the elevator case study of previous editions, and UML in the OOD/UML case study and elsewhere in the book has been upgraded to UML 2. The Fifth Edition features new mini case studies (e.g., GradeBook and Time classes). An employee hierarchy replaces Point/Circle/Cylinder to introduce inheritance and polymorphism. Additional enhancements include tuned treatment of exception handling, new “Using the Debugger” material and a new "Before You Begin" section to help readers get set up properly. Also included are separate chapters on recursion and searching/sorting. The Fifth Edition retains every key concept and technique ANSI C++ developers need to master: control statements, functions, arrays, pointers and strings, classes and data abstraction, operator overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, polymorphism, I/O, templates, exception handling, file processing, data structures, and more. It also includes a detailed introduction to Standard Template Library (STL) containers, container adapters, algorithms, and iterators. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all the source code from the book. A valuable reference for programmers and anyone interested in learning the C++ programming language and object-oriented development in C++.

Dietel books are very good

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2011

Verified Purchase

This book is really good. There are lots of examples with well explained code. Too bad there is no e-book to facilitate searching within the book (the book is over a thousand pages), although I don't blame them that much due to the facility in finding copyrighted ebooks that give nothing back to the author.
The CD could have had the binary code instead of having to go to site for that purpose.

Anyways the book takes you from beginner to intermediate in C language programming and gives you an intro to C++ and game programming using the allegro library. I'm very satisfied and still have a good way to finish the book.

By far the best programing book I've used

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2005

Verified Purchase

Well I've been trying to learn programing for many years, and I have bought many many books. Unfortunatly those books were not written in a way that I feel is consistent with a beginers level. This book changes that. Everything is organized in such a way that all the information flows really well, so your not jumping from one topic to something compleatly on the otherside of the spectrum. The fact that key words, and code are color coded is really helpful for a quick scan of the text. The questions and tasks at the end of eavery chapter really drive the information home , making sure that you really understand the information. the only downside in my opinion is that there is not a glossary, other than that this book is fantastic.

I agree with Simon

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2006

Verified Purchase

Unfortunately, I didnt fare so well in my college class compared to Simon. And when purchasing this book (by force = required text for school), I disregarded what Simon had to say about it, because I look for the positive.

However, now that I'm in the class and am (attempting) to learn this language, it is clear as day that this isnt a beginners book.

It seems as if the writers are showcasing their technical writing abilities above and beyond what is necessary to get the point across, so instead of instructing you from a newbie's standpoint, you are subjected to a re-invention of the wheel.

It is simply over-written and poorly laid out in explaining different aspects of the material. The keywords, which are highlighted in the worst shade of blue (hard to see), are plenty without much explanation. The example programs are jumbled together amongst the text instead of separating them by borders or enclosing them in boxes, etc. Pastel colors are used to signify important words. Instead of beginning a new paragraph when the subject changes, the reader is forced to continue aimlessly in the lengthy paragraphs.

Ironically, the compilers normally used to write C++ programs use these same colors to differentiate code vs. comments vs. functions. But this isnt a compiler Im reading, its a how-to book.

All in all, I think the book is not designed for the beginner, which is really disheartening because its a how-to book. A how-to book should instruct clearly, cover a sufficent amount of topics (no shortage here) and yet be simple enough so that anyone can read it from the start and understand what is trying to be taught.

True, this is a rather complex programming language and some sort of technical writing is involved. But from my standpoint as a beginner, this seems like it would better suit those who have more experience in C++.

no online access with valid key

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2010

Verified Purchase

bought this book used, to my surprise the key for the online service was still intact, (not scratched off, so unused)
BUT the company that runs the service refuses to accept the key and simply states that it had expired with no further explanation or recourse. When purchasing the book I was not expecting the online service, but certainly also not expecting to get the run around. They look for reasons to not provide service, and do not care. Replies are quick but are preformatted.

When I stated that I bought it from Amazon "We are sorry but Amazon is a third party vendor." Thats all they said, so I really don't know what that means and they will not clarify.

Was required textbook for a intro to c class. Found it much more helpful than my teacher. Has exercises to help the user learn. Has a small learning curve as the book jumps right into code

Excellent Book

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

C++ How to Program is an excellent textbook on learning the C++ language. Rather than going the C to C++ route, you start right into C++ and within the first few chapters are looking at classes and object oriented programming. Every topic has an associated example to illustrate the concepts, as well as numerous quick tips, tricks and cautions. If you pair this book with one of the many free C++ compilers you will be programming in C++ in no time. I purchased this book used from Goodwill in California and it arrived in nearly-new condition and ahead of schedule. This turned out to be a super great deal.

Lots of words but very little information

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2008

Verified Purchase

I wish I had been able to browse this book at a store before buying it. This book takes about 100 pages of information and stretches it out into over 1500. Save your money and buy "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustroup. At least you can use his book as a reference.

The only useful parts of this book are the programming exercises. They are actually interesting and challenging, and you will learn a lot by solving them.
