Introduction

This book is designed to help you teach yourself how to program with C++. No one can learn a serious programming language in just three weeks, but each of the lessons in this book has been designed so that you can read the entire lesson in just a few hours on a single day.

In just 21 days, you'll learn about such fundamentals as managing input and output, loops and arrays, object-oriented programming, templates, and creating C++ applicationsall in well-structured and easy-to-follow lessons. Lessons provide sample listingscomplete with sample output and an analysis of the codeto illustrate the topics of the day.

To help you become more proficient, each lesson ends with a set of common questions and answers, a quiz, and exercises. You can check your progress by examining the quiz and exercise answers provided in Appendix D, "Answers."

Who Should Read This Book

You don't need any previous experience in programming to learn C++ with this book. This book starts you from the beginning and teaches you both the language and the concepts involved with programming C++. You'll find the numerous examples of syntax and detailed analysis of code an excellent guide as you begin your journey into this rewarding environment. Whether you are just beginning or already have some experience programming, you will find that this book's clear organization makes learning C++ fast and easy.

Conventions Used in This Book

Tip - These boxes highlight information that can make your C++ programming more efficient and effective.

Note - These boxes provide additional information related to material you just read.

FAQ - What do FAQs do?

Answer: These Frequently Asked Questions provide greater insight into the use of the language and clarify potential areas of confusion.

Caution - These focus your attention on problems or side effects that can occur in specific situations.

DO/DON'T

These boxes provide clear definitions of essential terms.

DO use the "Do/Don't" boxes to find a quick summary of a fundamental principle in a lesson.

DON'T overlook the useful information offered in these boxes.

This book uses various typefaces to help you distinguish C++ code from regular English. Actual C++ code is typeset in a special monospace font. Placeholderswords or characters temporarily used to represent the real words or characters you would type in codeare typeset in italic monospace . New or important terms are typeset in italic.

In the listings in this book, each real code line is numbered. If you see an unnumbered line in a listing, you'll know that the unnumbered line is really a continuation of the preceding numbered code line (some code lines are too long for the width of the book). In this case, you should type the two lines as one; do not divide them.

Sample Code for This Book

The sample code described throughout this book and Appendix D, "Answers," are available on the Sams website at http://www.samspublishing.com.

Excellent Coverage, but examples can be rather bland...

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2006

I've always been rather hesitant to read programming books with titles that imply a sacrifice of depth for gained ease in learning, but this book is a very well done and complete treatment of the fundamentals of the C++ language.

It assumes no previous knowledge -- just a willingness to learn. It begins with "Hello, World", the classic example first introduced in the K&R C book, and then continues for the next few "days" to cover the funamental C aspects such as basic I/O, variables, functions, branching, data types, and operators.

After that preliminary information is covered, the authors begin showing basic class useage -- the general form of a class, constructors, destructors, data members, and member functions.

In the final "day" of the "week", control statements (for, do...while, switch, etc.) are given a good, and thorough treatment.

The next "week" moves on to more advanced concepts such as pointers, reference variables, function overloading, inheritance, and polymorphism. By the end of this week, you will be pretty proficient, and probably ready to implement more substantial projects, however, the book still covers more.

In the last week, other, more advanced, concepts are introduced such as friend functions, file manipulation, low level bit manipulation, and a lot more to help you become a master of this beast of a language.

This book also goes through each and every example program and provides a thorough analysis -- so you're never left in the dark as to what a program is doing or how.

This work does have some shortcomings, but they're not that significant. Yes, some of the example programs are extremely boring and you're left thinking whether you should bother entering and compiling them. Sometimes explanations are offered for the most trivial of concepts in programs, but overall, it's a great book at a great price.

In short, if you want to learn C++ and you want to learn it thoroughly, then this is your book!

Logan A.

A little different for me.

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2012

Verified Purchase

Ok so if you wanna learn the basics of C++ this book is great although it does do it in an odd order, not a problem though if this is the first book you choose to pick up and learn from. One thing the book does that I personally dont like and feel detracts from the book as a whole is not using the following in your header:

using namespace std;

Rather than doing that most thing that are written in the book are as follows, their version first, then having used "using namespace std;" under that.

int i; //Just so the code looks correct

std::cout << "My name is Logan how old are you? ";
//cout << "My name is Logan how old are you? ";

std::cin >> i;
//cin >> i;

As you can imagine the whole std:: thing gets repetitive and obnixious really quick. Albiet programing is repetitive but come on. They even tell you at some point that using namespace std; is acceptable they just choose not to. That is my only dislike about the book. In the real world you want to type as little as you can to get the job done std:: seems like such a waste and it makes the coded pages seem garbled. (Admidetly the entire book isn't written this way as they change their format throughout. Sometimes they put at the begenning something like "using std::cout; or using std::endl;" so that they can then use "cout/endl" alone, I like a book that sticks to one way all the way through, I'm tring to learn one way, not a bunch of ways to do the same thing.)

Other than that the book is an excellent tool and reference the std:: thing is just a peve of mine.

The first chapter was okay but need more examples in the book. If you are looking for a okay book to start on it will be enough to grab some of the very basic coding down.

Great book, however...

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2022

Great price for a lot of knowledge. There are some depreciated practices (not a big deal, just a note), but it is a good starting point. That said, i do highly suggest supplementing it with learncpp.com. learncpp has a much lower difficulty curve, and goes into a lot more detail.

I found myself floundering a bit after the 6th day of this book, as it's a LOT of knowledge to take in (30-50 pages plus a quiz), so taking it slower, and breaking it down with reviews of supplemental material can help that a lot.

Makes a great paper weight

I use this book to keep my monitor high enough for me to view it easily (I'm kind of tall). It suits this purpose very well.

From a programming standpoint, it's also very good. Lays out the concepts of C++ so that a beginner can pick up pretty quickly, but has worked well as a reference.

Who am I kidding... I didn't have the concentration to actually work through it well. But I am a programmer and did do a cursory glance, and its examples are pretty solid, and so is its layout. I lend it out to friends frequently, at which point I trade it out for a Java book to keep my monitor at a comfortable height.
