Minimal technical jargon, step-by-step discussions, and quizzes at the end of each chapter make this an easy-to-understand guide to C++ programming. Quickly learn what a programming language is and the anatomy of C++, then jump right into creating your own programs with expert guidance. Discover functions, objects, compilers, linkers, and much more along the way. For the fast and easy way to understanding the fundamentals of C++, this is the resource you need.
This books seems like it's a good intro to C++ for beginner programmers with no or little background. For me (who had a serious programming background) it was too basic. Still, since I don't program in C++ regularly it was a decent reminder of some of the semantic changes between it and the languages I do use.
The "Demystified" series of book are excellent introductions to the relevant topic covered. This book is no exception. It teaches all of the basic skill sets necessary to understanding and programming in C++.
I am reading this book on my own, to see if I can learn some programming. So far, I have picked up on a lot. This book is very detailed in step by step instructions, so far.
