Great C++ book for beginners

It's hard to find a good c++ book for beginner programmers. Most C++ books assume that you are fimilar with c but this book doesn't required you to know c, it guide to step by step from gound up. I'm teaching myself VC++ using this book. Recommended to all beginner C++ programmers! Ivor Horton's "Beginning Visual C++ 6" is all highly recommended.

Good C++ introduction - but a little simple!

This book is a good one for people who has never before programmed in C++. For those who has done that, I would not recommend this book. Then you should read C++: The Complete Reference instead! The explanations of templates, namespaces, exception handling and operator overloading are a little too simple for me. Also, the last part of the book, The Standard C++ Library, breaks the tutorial form of the book into a pure reference form!!! One of the programs has a very nast bug in it that should have been checked. It completely crashed my system, and I spent the rest of the day figuring out what went wrong!

Nice!

Fun to read. Clearly written. Great annotation of concepts in the margins. Pretty colors. Comprehensive, detailed, concise. Excellent index. Wish it had a workbook with examples. Would have given it a full 5 stars except for the fact that it's a bit heavy to lug around -- so: ****1/2*.

good

The book is simple & easy to follow ... Is a good starter for those who want to have a look on C++
