Better learn C first !! Why.......?

I've boughten various titles which are suppose to teach C++, and even though it's a tough subject to learn, your better off learning C first. Why? Cause this author explains why in his easy well laid out text which gets the reader focused on how to program in C.No other book I found will prepare you better, then the material in this edition. C++ should come naturally to you in a very short period of time, if it doesn't, then go back and review some of the authors pitfalls, and common errors in each chapter, which will help you gain the knowledge you need to succeed. The author's style of teaching has lead me to learn much faster then I ever thought possible, cause I never really liked "C" at all till I read his book. It was 3 weeks later where I felt confident.I'm more prepared, and relaxed with new keywords and syntax used with C++, you might do the same. Very few authors give you any clues and knowledge to learn C.I found this text most useful, and don't "SKIP" any of the exercises in the chapters unless your sure you can program properly, this is the key from the author's approach in learning step by step.

While I would agree with the previous review on it's various errors in code, I found that correcting these errors were fairly straight foward. The author presented the subject matter in a clear and consise manner and in addition added sections called "Common Errors & Traps", which I found to be be extremely helpful. The author also discusses the importance of presenting a clear and readable code. I would have liked an appendix including containing a sampling of answers to the questions posed in the book. Taken as whole, the author provided the information in an understandable format.
