DESCRIPTION:
Dobb's Journal "C Programming" column since 1988 * Completely updated with the latest revisions to the C++ compilers, this book uses a tutorial approach to teach one of the most widely used, yet hard to learn, programming languages-more than 100,000 copies sold over all editions * Provides a complete working program to teach each lesson and carefully builds on previous lessons for greater understanding * CD-ROM includes a complete Windows-hosted IDE and C++ compiler suite, allowing the reader to compile, run, and experiment with the example programs for a complete tutorial experience. * The number one C++ self-study course from the nation's number one C++
Solid skills from the start If your goal is to teach yourself C++, this is a great book. It is true to the title. I first read this book in the Fifth Edition when making the transition from C to C++ and wore it out using it as a reference even after reading many other books on the language.The C++ language and it's implementation in various compilers, has not stopped evolving but this remains the most clear, concise tutorial on the language I've read.Some of the constructs shown in the book have fallen out of style, so not every example is consi. "Too many errors -- ruins an otherwise good book" according to Geoffrey Brown. This is the first time that I have written a review of a book I haven't finished reading -- and probably won't. I bought this book for the advertised purposed -- to teach myself C++, and as someone who started programming in 1965 (that's nineteen SIXTY-five) in assembly language, and has learned a number of languages since then, I didn't anticipate much difficulty here.On the plus side, the layout is nice, the book is clear and pretty well written, it seems to be complete, and the CD-ROM does provide a good learning t. Good Tutorial--Pretty Complete Pamela D. Crouch I'm not finished with this book, but am very pleased so far. Stevens' organization and completeness are excellent. He tries to go from simpler concepts to more complex ones, and not get ahead of himself. It's difficult to do this with a topic like programming, where everything is interrelated!The instruction is pretty easy to follow, and the examples are very apt and easy to understand, with good variable names. Unlike most C++ books, Stevens' does not assume you know C. I did notice a couple of places in the book whe
