Bestselling Programming Tutorial and Reference Completely Rewritten for the New C++11 Standard

Fully updated and recast for the newly released C++11 standard, this authoritative and comprehensive introduction to C++ will help you to learn the language fast, and to use it in modern, highly effective ways. Highlighting today’s best practices, the authors show how to use both the core language and its standard library to write efficient, readable, and powerful code.

C++ Primer, Fifth Edition, introduces the C++ standard library from the outset, drawing on its common functions and facilities to help you write useful programs without first having to master every language detail. The book’s many examples have been revised to use the new language features and demonstrate how to make the best use of them. This book is a proven tutorial for those new to C++, an authoritative discussion of core C++ concepts and techniques, and a valuable resource for experienced programmers, especially those eager to see C++11 enhancements illuminated.

Start Fast and Achieve More

  • Learn how to use the new C++11 language features and the standard library to build robust programs quickly, and get comfortable with high-level programming
  • Learn through examples that illuminate today’s best coding styles and program design techniques
  • Understand the “rationale behind the rules”: why C++11 works as it does
  • Use the extensive cross-references to help you connect related concepts and insights
  • Benefit from up-to-date learning aids and exercises that emphasize key points, help you to avoid pitfalls, promote good practices, and reinforce what you’ve learned

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book. Two thumbs up.
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2016

This is a very well written book. I'm an experienced programmer (C# and I have had experience with C++ a few years back, but nothing too serious), so it's hard for me to judge this from a beginner's perspective; however, my experience gives me a bit of an insight into what a book should include and how the material should be structured. I know what I want to get out of a book and so it makes it easy for me to judge whether that requirement has been fulfilled. I must say that this book has managed well in every aspect. It does a good job of explaining things well enough, without making it all too dry and boring. Many books do a poor job of focusing too much on some topics to the point where it's unbearable to read them, while failing to cover certain topics in any reasonable detail. I haven't had any issues with this one. It's a pretty thick book (~900 pages of actual material) and it does a good job of putting it all together. It feels like it was written by real working human beings, rather than some academic poindexter with no real-life experience. There's no pointless humor and at the same time there is absolutely no attempt at sounding superior in any of explanations in attempt to impress the reader. This book is a very easy read. I am incredibly picky on books and it's not easy to please me -- I haven't found any faults worth of mentioning with this book. I don't think a beginner will have too much difficulty with this book and I definitely think that experienced programmers wanting to brush up on their C++ will get a lot out of this. This thing will stay in my library (it's a shame there's no hardcover version, I enjoy those).

As a tip to any beginners, read through the book lightly for the first time. What I mean is that don't attempt to understand everything right away and don't focus too much on the details. Make a note of the areas you had difficulty understanding, do a slight research to see if you can grasp it right away, but don't focus on that too much. You'll be surprised how much of the earlier information will become clear and a second nature to you as you progress further. Once you're done with your first read-through, go back and see if you still don't understand any of the areas you've marked down. I'm sure that you'll be able to eliminate many of them. At this point, focus heavily on the areas you still have difficulty with. Of course, results will vary and not everyone learns the same way, but this has worked out very well for me. That's how I study for everything. I read through any material very lightly the firs time around, to get the general feeling and find the areas I'll be focusing on, and then go back to focus on those details. This strategy helped me maintain 4.0 in Computer Science, so the results are real (but once again, it may vary by person).

4.0 out of 5 stars Priming Beginners for C++
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2018
Verified Purchase
I would most certainly give this book a much lower review due to it's haphazard presentation of concepts but what it brings to the table when you look passed that is far more valuable. I would not recommend this book as a complete encompassed look at C++ but it does offer an invaluable preparation for using C++ before moving on to  The C++ Programming Language (hardcover) (4th Edition) .

Trudging through it's early sections before it dives into the meatier parts of C++ is when you really start to see things come together. The early chapters is actually a poor representation of the concepts its trying to convey. It leaves you more confused and frustrated than before. Once you get through that however, you are met with the meat of C++ and everything comes together.

This book isn't perfect but where it shines, it shines. A great book for someone who wants to pick up C++ for the first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perspective from a beginner
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2020
Verified Purchase
I am not a paid shill. I am new to programming and have only dabbled lightly in JavaScript. At time of review I am currently 250 pages into the book.

The Physical:
The physical quality of the book is amazing. The binding really helps the book lay flat while avoiding awkward spiral binding found in some books. The text is printed clearly is and is easy to read.

The Content:
The overwhelming consensus is that C++ is a more difficult language to grasp (than other languages) as a person new to programming. In the little bit of time I have spent learning JavaScript compared to C++, I can confirm that statement as being true.

This book does not provide a magic bullet for grasping unusual concepts. It does however explain everything in detail and in a manner that is clear. Areas of the book can quickly become overwhelming especially if previous information is not clearly understood.

I am currently taking a Udemy course in parallel with reading this book and each learning mechanism compliments the other. I also am referencing a github repository with completed exercises for concepts I am struggling with. Typically I will read 5-6 pages and try to apply that knowledge in a program. I find that if I spend too much time reading without much time practicing the concepts, then the information is lost in memory.

The book has an excellent index in the back that makes using this as a reference manual very appealing.

The book is quite dense and moves over some complicated concepts rather quickly. I am often having to reread paragraphs and practice code to fully understand what the book is trying to tell me. This book is a great resource for someone wanting to learn C++. If you are absolutely new to programming, you will want a second (more) beginner friendly source of information to aid in understanding some difficult concepts.

Super readable. Comes highly recommended from stackexchange as the Number 1 book for beginners. Language is great and flows, but for those unfamiliar with programming completely, they may do well to spend much more time in the first chapter, just going thru very slowly what the first program is all about.

Get the 2012 edition (5th edition) - this is updated for C++ 11.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading up to this point atleast. Book is very well written, and is eminently readable. I have the kindle version. Only wish that they made the hyperlinks a little less conspicuous in the pages. They scream out at you with blue text.

Also, wish the code was colored and not just plain vanilla. It would have helped in grasping the concepts MUCH faster.
