Great for Beginner: Helpful Code Examples, Clear Explanations

I took an online C++ class, and was almost entirely able to teach myself with this book despite extremely limited programming experience. The code examples in the book are fully explained and complete. Also, they build up in complexity, using only keywords and structures that have already been explained. Some reviews say the book is too wordy, but I found the reading to be very useful for explaining each concept. Additionally, the book's layout makes it easy to quickly find relevant passages and skip those you may already know! Like another reviewer, I too am currently using my book as a reference for a Data Structures class. It is much clearer than the official book for that class and covers a surprising amount of the material. I would recommend this book to anyone learning C++.

A Gentle Introduction to C++

I like this book because it gives at least a vague explanation of every part of the program structure, rather than leaving parts entirely to faith until later. The book can be a bit wordy, especially if you're already familiar with programming, but what else can one expect from a textbook? The book also does a good job of gently guiding the reader to understanding, using plenty of code examples throughout.

Wanna learn C++?

I love this book! I am in my second semester at college with C++ and we have moved into a new book on Data Structures, and yet I use this book more than the new book for the class. Gaddis does a great job at explaining things, and covers a lot of stuff from your first "Hello World" program all the way to Binary Trees. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to learn C++ programming. It's a great read, with great examples, and some great exercises. Worth the money!

Pleasant experience

Was able to buy this textbook for less than a used one at my school's bookstore. Book arrived new with companion cd. Ordered with Standard shipping and book still arrived well before the semester started. Took about 4 days even though website said it could take as long as 17(?). I would happily buy from these people agai.

To those who are new to C++

This books explains all the reserve words for C++. Author uses Borland Turbo C++ (compiler). I used both Turbo and Dev C++. Starts from ground zero to STL, Object Orientation and to binary trees. Its introductory level course and anyone can understand and start coding, if you have some computer knowledge or have some programming experience.
