More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This text provides a mastery learning approach to C++, including objectives, minimal discussion and examples. It also gives readers the opportunity to test their understanding with multiple exercises. Readers can test their knowledge of individual concepts and then test their comprehension of the topic in a larger setting. This edition contains material on programming for Windows. The Windows environment offers some challenges for the C++ programmer and these are explained in the book. The "Teach Yourself" series uses the following formula to ensure a reader's comprehension: chapter objectives which highlight topics to be covered in each chapter; concrete examples of concepts; exercises based on real-life programming situations; keyword lists in every chapter; and mastery-skills check to ensure a reader's comprehension before moving on.

Format:Paperback
Provided you already have a good grounding for programming (including a high level of familiarity with C) this book is ideal. It is very well structured and works from the ground up. Once I started reading it was difficult not to carry on. Fantastic!!!

I have read many books on C++ and have never found them as exciting as this one. The flow of this book is too good to believe. You cannot simply go wrong if you are reading this book. You never forget anything if you read it from this book. It is a bible for beginners in C++.

Format:Paperback
Ignore one or two stupid critics who have even gone so far as to claim Schildt's code is UNSAFE or UNSTRUCTURED, he presents the most amazingly structured code (conforming to the ANSI C++ standard that he helped create) in his endless and very useful examples while explaining C++ as no-one else can!
If you want to learn C++ especially if you know already the rudiments of C, BUY THIS BOOK!

Highly Recommended
This is my fourth C++ book. Having taken the C++ course from a worthless professor and gone through two tormenting and dry C++ books, I was just about to give it up. Read more

Brilliant, Informative, Nicely Paced Book
This book is perfect for people who know a little of C and would like to expand into C++. There are a LOT of examples, and this is what makes the book so good. Read more
