BleepingComputer.com: is this worth the buy?

SAMS series are usually well-written and their architectonic style leads from the simple to the more complex in a logical manner. If you have a little programming background, you can read this with profit, even if you don't quite make the 21-day goal.
Certainly the price makes it even better, though you might do better if you browsed local used books stores.

Maybe.My teach once said somthing about this book.Maybe it is a good book.

I suggest you don't buy the book and suggest you read the ACCU's recommendations and reviews.

I would also ask yourself why you are choosing to learn C++ over other languages such as C or Java. I'm not saying you are making a bad choice, just that I've seen many people learn C++ because they think its "_the_ language" or because it has a "++" it must be vastly superior to C.

If I were you and was going to learn C++ I'd buy Bjarne Stroustrup's book. He created C++ and wrote a very good book on the subject.

Hi, i bought that book a little while ago, and now that high school has finished, and i have broken my leg , i have nothing else todo but learn C++ for the next 6 weeks. So far its pretty clearly layed out and is helping me to grasp the fundamentals of this programming language. I wouldn't garuntee that you will learn it all in 21 days, all depends on how fast you learn really. I have time so i am going to try and spend about 2 days on each day.

Why buy what you can get free i say.. There are many many many e-books out there on learning C++, and just as many Websites.

Try a google search for " learn c++ "

I just searched 4 that, in 2 seconds ive found
