5.0 out of 5 stars Which C++ Book To Read First?, May 17 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Object-Oriented Programming in C++ (Paperback)

If you wish to learn C++ without being held back by discussions of why loops are important or when to use an "if" statement, and you have compiled programs before, then Josuttis' is the C++ book to read first. It is not a 1000 page tome with tiny type. It is easy to understand and a good place to start learning all of C++. The talented elite will not be bored and can quickly progress. The below average will not be left mystified or bewildered by the book. And half of us are below average, aren't we?
It is short, balanced, correct, and technical. You finish the book actually knowing what is object-oriented programming. That is such an old-fashion virtue, a book that is what the title says.

"Question: How do you know which management techniques work best? Logically, doesn't the existence of thousands of management books show that no one knows what works best?" Boss answers, "The trick is knowing which one to read." Dilbert says, "Now you're just making me Mad." - Dilbert, May 17, 2003. Like management books, some C++ books are safer choices than others are.
I successfully learned C++ from the Josuttis book. But I have a list of books that broke my heart, each good but not the correct first book for me (and maybe not for you). The three categories of books and their faults: Short books for the gifted, elite or experienced like "Accelerated C++" by Koenig & Moo, "Essential C++" by Lippmann, "C++ FAQs" by Cline, Lomow & Girou, "Thinking in C++" by Eckel. These are too unique, peculiar, or idiosyncratic. The 400,000 word beginner books like "C++ Primer Plus" by Prata, "C++ How to Program" by Deitel & Deitel. Long, boring & slow. Then there are encyclopedias that are written at a high level of detail, maybe too high for you. Examples are "C++ Primer" by Lippman & Lajoie, "The C++ Programming Language" by Stroustrup. If the Stroustrup book is an Encyclopedia Britannica of C++, then the Josuttis book is Britannica Junior. I am convinced the Josuttis book can successfully teach C++ to programmers with widely varying abilities, experience and ambition. Then, when you are ready, go read Stroustrup or Koenig & Moo or other fine books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure C++ Tutorial, Dec 13 2003

Jonathan Espejo (Wellington, New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Object-Oriented Programming in C++ (Paperback)

In my point of view, this book is one if not the best book I have ever read so far in C++. The author knew exactly what the reader needs to know and presented them in a clear and concise manner. It has very well written & easy to read C++ code samples. For a beginner to intermediate in C++, I think this book is for you as it walks you through a step by step approach to learning C++. The knowledge you would learn at the end of reading will make you feel better and comfortable in using C++. There are books out there that I've found boring if not too advanced at my level, I wish this influence you not to put yourself into that experience.

Thanks Nicolai for putting this together, a wonderful book that will surely help many people that are interested to learn C++.
