 only the C part of C++ May 1, 2009
Brad
To be honest this book doesnt even qualify as the C part of C++, except for the chapter on pointers. This is really a book on how to program in Pascal using C++. Nothing at all mentioned about Objects/Classes.
 Get this and then get OOP Demystified immediately! March 6, 2007

This was a very easy to read book and teaches the basics of C++. The only bad thing though is that it's almost half a book...in that I mean you will need OOP Demystified to really be able to use C++. I would definitely recommend this book for a complete C++ newbie on the condition that they also MUST buy the 'second half' on the book OOP Demystified (which is also a great book!).
This is NOT a C++ book September 18, 2005

This text gives a basic introduction to the "C part" of C++.
With this I mean variables, operator, cycles, pointers, functions.
But the most interesting ( and difficult ) part of C++ is its "object-orientedness", that is the usage of classes, objects, references, constructors, destructors, friend functions, and the syntactic tools like templates and operator overloading.
Of this most fascinating (and useful) part all you get in this book is a very basic introduction to the concept of a class, in the last chapter. Absolutely not recommended unless you have never programmed before and want to start getting your feet wet with a cheap book. But remember this book won't teach you C++.
For the real things I recommend "Absolute C++" by walter Savitch (notwithstanding the scary title is a very friendly text..)
or Professional C++ by N. Solter, or for one that s very good and very cheap, "C++, A beginner's guide" by Herbert Schildt.
This book rules! April 6, 2005

I have some background in programming from various institutions. But even if I didn't, this book was the best, most comprehensive, easily comprehensible book that I have ever had the priviledge to lay my eyes on! This book is superb for the beginner, the experienced, and the user who just wants to brush off the cobwebs from what they already know...I wish this author wrote a book on visual basic!
 A good experience September 8, 2004

Personally, for me, I already had a pretty good programming background in other languages such as PHP, so this book was a lot easier for me.
But even though it made things easier for me, it was still a very simple, easy to learn book. This Demysitified series is a pretty good and new series to me, and so far it's been a good experience with it.
I hope to read more Demystified books later on!
