5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for any Beginner
Reviewed in Canada on 8 September 2019
Verified Purchase
This is the most interesting and well written beginner's guide I've ever read. It is a must for anyone starting C++ with little to no OOP experience. Every concept comes with at least one code example, which really helps visual learners like myself understand the content. The exercises are well-written and the topics are distinct and well-paced. I feel like I have a strong foundation to build on now thanks to this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book on Learning C++ from the ground up!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 October 2020
Verified Purchase
I have to say as someone who did a course on C++ as an introduction 5 years ago this book has been a godsend.

It's laid out very well as a book, Herb articulates very complex topics in C++ very well and clearly. There are a lot exercises littered throughout the book for all chapters. At the end of each chapter you get these mastery checks which test not only knowledge but also coding exercises. It's a must buy if you're a complete beginner to programming and would like to build solid foundations in C++. There are a lot of beginner books/videos/courses out there but honestly you can't do much better than this book right here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good introduction to the basics.
Reviewed in the United States on 26 August 2011
Verified Purchase
Even with no (absolutely zero) prior programming experience, I feel like I have a decent grasp on the basics--and the syntax--of C++ after reading this book. Given how notoriously difficult the language is (according to the assorted denizens of the internet), I think that means this must be a pretty good book.

Be warned: it starts out surprisingly easy, but the complexity of the subject matter ramps up pretty quickly. Take it slow and re-read anything you don't understand repeatedly until you figure it out. Take notes, even. And you absolutely MUST follow along in your IDE (Integrated Development Environment--what you type the code into and compile it with, etc.), typing in the code and compiling it yourself. It helps you retain the information.

Note that this book's contents never get out of the console; it's purely about the basics of the language, not its practical use. After reading it, you'll want to pick up a more advanced book--which you'll be ready for if you've absorbed everything you can from this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introductory book to C++
Reviewed in Germany on 1 June 2013
Verified Purchase
I have read criticisms about this book, but if you are starting from scratch I can highly recommend it. Lots of exercises and a great progression from complete beginners on-wards. Incredibly easy to read, and has a nice logical flow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good paired with other books
Reviewed in the United States on 17 December 2019

This was one of the required texts for my upper level undergraduate class in Computational Physics. It was a good resource on its own and even better when paired with a couple other books on coding and computational physics with exercises to work through.
