Product Description Exceptionally organized and beautifully illustrated, this state-of-the-art guide to C++ programming is a must-have for anyone who needs to learn the language. Exploring C++ programming's most useful aspects (as well as some of its more specialized parts), it focuses on using the language to write practical programs based on sound design techniques. Presents the must up-to-date coverage of C++ available - including a full section on STL (standard template library) - and offers many well-constructed examples, useful self-test exercises, beautifully fashioned sample applications, interesting and applicable programming exercises, lists of common programming errors, C++ Postscript sections that explain esoteric and less-used parts of the language, stunning illustrations, and up-to-date features. Includes a supplemental IBM-format program disk; a companion website contains the sourcecode, header files, and data files found on the disk as well as transparencies and an errata list. | ||

Easy to follow I've taken 2 Java courses as well as Pre-Calc, 2 Discrete Maths, and Calculus. To me this book is well written. The examples are easy to follow and clearly demonstrate use of code (if you know the basics). I would not recommend this if you have never taken programming before. At my university 2 semesters of programming are required before taking the C++ course that uses this book. | ||
Excellent for learning syntax I have a couple of Maths degrees and a professional IT background with a lot of Assembler coding (IBM mainframe) and wanted a book which would teach me C++ syntax quickly and without talking to me as though I had 3 brain cells. This met my needs perfectly. I found it clear, logical and easy to read, and the exercises brought out the points raised in the text. If you don't have a bit of Maths/IT background, this is probably not the right book for you, but for someone in the field wanting to learn the language with a minimum of fuss, it's great. | ||
This book is the best I learned C++ programming in five weeks just with this book. I got A+ in class. Those reviewers who have negative reviews on this book, is becuase they do not have programming skills or good math, Java, and C background. I recomend this book for these who have previous experience in programming and want to learn C++ independently. | ||
One of the few C++ books that actually helped me I found this book well-written and illustrated. The person below who complained about the mathematical problem should probably reconsider programming if he/she doesn't understand the most basic summation notation. Anyone who has had the appropriate mathematics background to become a programmer will easily understand this book. | ||
Excellent book I'm surprised by the negative reviews this book got. This book is excellent for beginner's level. That's why the professors of some of the reviewers below require it for the class. However, if you already know C, reading this book is like a breeze. It covers all fundamental C++ concepts with a style which is very easy to understand and graps. I have 4 books in C++ (including ones by Stroustrup, Lipman) and this book is the best for beginner's level. | ||
