Customer Reviews

Get this and then get OOP Demystified immediately!

This was a very easy to read book and teaches the basics of C++. The only bad thing though is that it's almost half a book...in that I mean you will need OOP Demystified to really be able to use C++. I would definitely recommend this book for a complete C++ newbie on the condition that they also MUST buy the 'second half' on the book OOP Demystified (which is also a great book!).

This book rules!

I have some background in programming from various institutions. But even if I didn't, this book was the best, most comprehensive, easily comprehensible book that I have ever had the priviledge to lay my eyes on! This book is superb for the beginner, the experienced, and the user who just wants to brush off the cobwebs from what they already know...I wish this author wrote a book on visual basic!

A good experience

Personally, for me, I already had a pretty good programming background in other languages such as PHP, so this book was a lot easier for me. But even though it made things easier for me, it was still a very simple, easy to learn book. This Demysitified series is a pretty good and new series to me, and so far it's been a good experience with it. I hope to read more Demystified books later on!

Excellent primer book on C++

This is a good book if you're new to C++. Gives a solid understanding for OOP programming.
