Customer Reviews

great for non-technical readers

This book clearly is aimed at non-technical programmers--that is, people who will work in IT, not CS, for a living. The drills were a cool way to master language concepts. The author presented the language details in a way that I could grasp. For example, functions is broken into a series of small, more predictible functions that were understandable. If you want a non-intimidating book to learn C++, this is a good one to have.

The best book for learning C++!

The author of this great book was my instructor for C++. He is a great college instructor, and knows everything there is to know about C++. This book provides excellent exercises to help learn the language. Not only does it have all the right information and exercises, but it he was able to use his wonderful sense of humor to make learning C++ fun! -- Two thumbs up! A must buy!
