Enter the world of computer programming with this step-by-step guide to the C++ language C++ is a great introduction to object-oriented programming, and this friendly guide covers everything you need to know and nothing you don't. You'll write your first program by the end of Chapter 1. C++ For Dummies, 6th Edition , helps you understand C++ programming from the ground up.

I'm guessing this is something that most of the reviewers who were critical of this book, didn't do before purchasing it. Yes you need to know C for this book and that is clearly stated in the prerequisites. But any book that tries to teach you C++ without prior knowledge of C is only lying to you (It's called C++ not D as in it's an addition onto C). If you try to learn C++ first you will only end up with a VERY superficial...

Ok first off forget the negative reviews, this book is quite understandable. Secondly, forget the reviews about this being a book that u need to know c to understand.

Im 13, although and honor student, and it was quite easy to understand. I have made a few small programs...

Ok, i bought some book on Visual C++, but realized i needed to know C++ first. So i bought this book, and wasnt disappointed. The author overall does a very good job of explaining C++. The author even says at the start of the book, previous editions off C++ for Dummies requried knowing C, but this one DOESNT. I dont know what the hell the people who said he states u must know C were on. And he backs those words up.....

This is one of the best C++ for beginners books I have ever read. It is for technical people who have programmed in other languages but want to get their feet wet with C++ and object-oriented programming. It does assume some level of C language knowledge. Most C++ books I've found dive right into the hard-core stuff but this book was well-paced and didn't try to go too fast. This is definitely not for a non-technical...
