Review: I decided to read from starting pages to refresh my C++ and I found it good and learn simple stuff on the way - The reason I bought it was to learn about templates to be prepared on C++ to take soon a data structures class. I decided to read from starting pages to refresh my C++ and I found it good and learn simple stuff on the way. Great book as I thought: No need to read 60 pages a chapter explaining the same thing. In this book, for example, the switch and case appears and then jumps with another thing. It is your own will to learn well by making your own simple programs as I learned before to remember how to use things on a program or just do and/or modify the programs on the book. C++ is flexible, the author can program one way but you can program your own way. Review: Great buy - I would recommend it as great starter for C++ as it explains possible pitfalls that could leave you struggling for hours with code that doesn't work.

Nice for beginners and nice for others
I am familiar with C from work, thus the first chapters are quite easy. Thus I will say that this book is for both beginners and for people that now programming from before. I addition, I will say that I like the humorous comments in between theory and examples.

Another Disappointment
Like just about every C++ book I've yet read, this one starts out great but then painfully deteriorates into yet another tiresome trudge through overwhelming, unexplained proceduralism that would have you drink from a fire hose. Your unending quest for a truly good C++ book must therefore continue, I'm afraid.

Usability
I like the for dummies books, but this is the first kindle version I've had. The biggest complaint is about the poor resolution images. The ones in particular for 'Code Blocks' in the book are very hard or even impossible to read. The included photo shows one. This has not been a problem in other kindle versions of technical books. So please pass this on to the makers of the C++ for Dummies kindle book so they can improve future editions.

This only has 400 and something pages and it's very easy to understand at a high school level. Great book for beginners.

Good book for me.
For me this is a good book to start learning the C++ language. From a website listed in the book, I have downloaded a file that has all the projects in it. Instead of spending my time keyboarding in the projects, I can just open them with a good text editor. I am running Ubuntu Linux on my computer and it makes compiling and running the programs easy. I have not finished this book yet, but I am enjoying it.

Perfect for beginners!
The contents of this book is easy to understand, even if you're a beginner, and it explains all the concepts pretty well. It tells you what to do and what not to do. They way the book teaches you is perfect. Everything is neatly ordered and properly arranged and we'll worded.

Worst "computer science" book I've ever read.
I didn't know a book about programming could even be this bad. I rarely give 1 star reviews, but this book is terrible. Every other page is a plug to download stuff from the website of the publisher. The author can't go one single page without another joke, usually very American and "edgy" comments bashing socialism and other irrelevant nonsense. I thought I bought a book about learning C++; but half of the book is just fill-out material with the author making jokes, not getting to the point, etc. The structure is horrible and not beginner-friendly, I say this from already knowing some C++. The author jumps around and misses important steps. There are plenty of good computer science books. This is not one of them.
