4.0 out of 5 stars A good book for beginners, 6 May 2001
By A Customer
It is a good book, however for those, who doesnt have any programming expirience in the past. Authors explaining everything step by step. I found that first 4-5 days are really borring and i think it could assembled in 1 day. Despite this, you'll start to fill that you actually know something. Author, been an excellent C++ programmer, makes many good points through entire the book, which kept me from skiping chapters. I was never kind of person, who prefers to learn programming using book and thought that learning by reading code is a lot more interesting and efficient, however i changed my mind after reading C++ programming in 21 days. The book is not that much about programming for linux (apart from bonus week, which is 6 more additional lessons), but mainly teaches you C++ and a use of g++ compiler. If you primarily interested in Linux programming and already have some programming expirience, i suggest you buy other book, e.g. Sams Linux Programming Unleashed, which gives you examples in C rather than C++, but pays attention to Linux. The thing i didnt like and think will no be advantageous for newbie is that this book assumes that you already have knowldge how for example binary and hex works at the same time as explains staff assuming that you never seen computer before and author suggests you to read up on what he is talking about in some other book, rather than spending several minutes on explaining it. I give it four stars, because i have really learned many things while reading it, not only programming.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent learning resource, 2 Nov 2000
By A Customer
... this is an excellent introductory text which does exactly what it says on the cover. If you lack any previous programming experience it explains the basic concepts clearly and concisely - it also reads well, with the author explaining more difficult concepts from a number of different angles. I have found that this book has given me a solid grounding in c++.Whether you are just beginning or already have some experience programming, you will find that this book's clear organization makes learning C++ fast and easy.

This book does not teach you how to use or install Linux, although a copy is included on the CD-ROM. There are plenty of other good books for that purpose (like the Sams Linux Unleashed series).

C++ (like the C language before it) is a standard language, so it is the same core language under Linux as on other platforms. In other words, the C++ you learn from this book applies to many different systems and compilers.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a MAGNIFICENT book, 29 Jan 2002
By Jan Verhoeven "fruttenboel" (Tilburg. NL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Experienced programmers should -NOT- skip the first few chapters; these contain first grade guidelines for what programming is about.
To give an idea about the thoroughness of this book: the authors say: cooments are necessary, but if you need a lot of comments to explain the code, change the code.

Every chapter is readable. Is funny. Halfway the chapter, you might think you don't understand but at the end, in the quizzes, you understand.

Yes, this book is a recommendation.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overly simple and low-level.
