Excellent Introduction

I found this to be easily the best out of a handful of "beginners" C++ books that I bought. It cuts right to the point and unlike those big doorstop books this one keeps the reader progressing quickly.It covers the basics (variables, functions etc.) very clearly and includes a lot of detail about pointers and OOP also in a very well organised manner.There is a big chapter covering the standard library functions which I keep flicking back to as I write my own programs, even though I pretty much finished the book a while ago.The only bad thing I can think is that if you already know a bit about programming then the first couple of chapters might not be useful. But its worth it for the later stuff on pointers etc.Overall a great buy!
