5.0 out of 5 stars A good solid book, 18 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Teach Yourself C++ (Teach Yourselfc++) (Paperback)

I bought this book and Stroustrup's C++ Programming Language. I've been very happy with this book. The simple compiler isn't good for real development, but for learning the basics, it's ideal. The examples are built into the compiler to maximize ease of use. I think his coverage of the language is complete. Just as importantly, he sticks to the ANSI standard; quite different from many other beginner books. While one can't expect one book to give a complete mastery of such a complex language, this book is a great starter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic way to get going in C++, 23 Feb 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Teach Yourself C++ (Teach Yourselfc++) (Paperback)

I bought the first edition of this book when it first came out, and found it to be a great book for someone trying to learn C++. Examples are simple and clear. You can read it on the plane or before you go to bed (i.e. you can put it down and pick it back up without rereading anything). Plus, the explanations don't hirt your head - they simply explain the key concepts (what a clever concept in itself). Buy it now! Especially, if you're stuggling with C++ concepts.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Buy This Book, 24 Jul 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Teach Yourself C++ (Teach Yourselfc++) (Paperback)

The information in this book is very basic and does not prepare the reader to become a programer. Examples are easy to follow but explanations are simplistic and do not provide much insight.
