Format:Paperback
I love this book, its simply fantastic. I have tried another C++ Beginners book and i *thought* c++ was ridiculously hard and i would never acomplish it. ( sams teach yourself c++ in 21 days ) i mean i had read like 2 hundred pages of this book and it was still on the basics - i think i hadn't even reached the cin >> command !! this one however does move at an okay pace. Herb Shild really knows his stuff, sometimes however he explains it a little TOO thoughrouly and i end up having to re-read certain parts of the chapter again. There is a learning cve towards the end of this book though. it suddenly becomes a lot more comlicated once you hit the pointers, although im pretty sure this is because i had a little experience in the BASIC language, and nothing at all like pointers ever came up. I attempt to read 1 chapter in a go, although after i feel my brain has been fried in the latter parts of the book.

It is the best choice for those who are beginner in programming. It assumes that you know nothing about programming.
But if you know C language or the basis of programming, you should try other books. Because it is a time waste for them. I regret a little for buying this book because I know C and it is like repeating same things in many pages of this book

If your new to programming then this is the book for you.
Its easy to follow, starts slowly and builds your skills gradually at a perfect pace.
After you finish this book i would recommend you move onto Ivor Hortons Beginning Visual C++ 2010.
By the time you finish both books you will be very well versed and proficient in C++.
