Customer Reviews

It does not get any better than this. Clean. Elegant. Comprehensive.

I used this book to teach myself advanced data structures & abstraction, when in a class where the professor was a joke. His clean, logical & elegant style is the best writing of programming "how to" I've ever seen. He puts the O'Reilly version to shame. It's also excellent at teaching the basics using his signiture style, while being comprehensive at the same time.

I Learned from This Book!

I truly read and learned from this book. Gaddis has written a book that can be comprehended without having any prior knowledge of the C++ language. This is a refreshing change from the dreary references and intangible text found in other titles, once opened, this book will leave the others on the shelf collecting dust.

A good book to learn C++

This book really helped me learn C++. I was taking an Advanced C++ class, but I never had the introduction to C++. (I had already learned C and C#). I used the first have of the book to familiarize myself with the basic syntax and the second half to learn more advanced topics, like classes, virtual functions, and the STL.
