Customer Reviews

Saved my GPA!

This book is phenomenal! I was enrolled in a C++ Objects class, designed as a final 'weed out' course my last semester of college and was having a very difficult time following the professor and terrible text. Ivor Horton came to the rescue with this book. Easy to read, great examples that build upon previous concepts, this book helped me bring my grade up to a B, saving my GPA.Too many programming textbooks are written poorly,...

Perfect

I found this book at the public library, it was the only one there on C++, so I got it, thinking "Hey, its free, so I can't complain". As soon as I started reading, I knew this was the perfect programming tutorial, and decided to buy a copy for myself. I've tried all the expensive books by mainstream book publishers such as the "for Dummies" series, and the O'Reilly books. Personally, I never understood them, and ended up...

Thorough, precise and crystal clear

Make no mistake: if you're considering learning C++ on your own, this is the single most important book in your library. Mr. Horton exhibits the rare skill of making a difficult topic almost absurdly simple. The book is replete with examples and exercises, and the number of typographical errors is extremely low. This is a book that was written by an individual with an absolute mastery of C++, and that mastery shows; the...

I really like it

If this book had come out 4 years ago, I wouldn't have stopped programming in C++. I took programming in high school but the books we used were so boring and stale, I hated programming.Now I pick up this book, wow, this book makes programming fun! The book is clear and has lots of examples and he fully explains every line in the examples too. He gives you a few projects to do at the end of each chapter which are interesting...

This is REALLY where to start!

Anyone reading these reviews is obviously just getting started in C++, and if you're like I was 6 months ago, you're probably confused by all the "starter" books out there. Don't waste your time! Buy this book (and only this one until you get your feet wet) -- you will not be disappointed. The format/layout and efficiency of each chapter will keep you well focused and keep you from yanking your hair out. I needed a crash...
