| Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days (4th Edition) (Sams Teach Yourself...in 21 Days) by Sams The first half is great... |
I really liked the first half of the book but then the last half was like a completely different book. He jumps right into pretty advanced stuff and it got confusing :/
you will definitely need to take this one slow or read more books after this one to truly understand it. |
| Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days (4th Edition) (Sams Teach Yourself...in 21 Days) by Sams Forget the title |
| This is a book that begins FROM BEGINNING and continues with simple examples. Maybe some will say level is low, but if you know C, try this after C if you want to add obj oriented programming to your skills. |
| Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days (4th Edition) (Sams Teach Yourself...in 21 Days) by Sams Great intro!!! |
Being an introductory book on such a big programming language as C++, it would be naive to expect an in-depth coverage within its scope. And yes, it has little flaws here and there like most academic books. I used a different text written for beginners but at the end of it I didn't feel quite as confident in pursuing more challenging reading as when I finished this one. This text offers a clear and easy-to-understand exposure of the language's basic topics, which are exemplified by the use of short code in order that the student can quickly grasp the concept and move on.
If you are a novice to C++ and looking for a solid basis for further and more in-depth reading on this rather challenging language, I strongly recommend this text as your first contact with it, always keeping in mind though that there is always more to be learnt from other sources. It did work for me and I bet it will work for you!! |
| Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days (4th Edition) (Sams Teach Yourself...in 21 Days) by Sams Good Starting Point |
| This book is a good starting point for people wanting to learn how to program. The book is neatly organize, but the File I/O section lacks examples and detail. Engineers wanting to program using this book might find this book lacking more information on the math library and functions (hardly any description on that at all). |
| Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days (4th Edition) (Sams Teach Yourself...in 21 Days) by Sams The "REAL GENIUS" of it is, the Logical Output Flow. |
| I'm not overstating my opinion of this book, but the "REAL GENIUS" of it is, the logical Output flow. With plently of whitespace which surrounds each line of code in all the chapters, the reader can visual see and compare what the compiler does with each line of code from all the illustrations given. The summaries are generally short, stating only the key modifications for each code illustrated. The code has been well groomed, almost perfect, except it's the level of difficulty which uncovers the C++ language. The authors have made this clear, but the "REAL GENIUS" of it still remains. The book is one of the best C++ titles I've read so far, I can't empathize this enough, try it out, it's worth a look!! |

| With Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days, author Jesse Liberty presents a rapid and well-organized program for getting up to speed in C++ programming. By making the seemingly complex world of C++ digestible in daily doses, Liberty delivers a tutorial that keeps you motivated and yields serious results. This book uses a chapter-a-day approach, with the course outline clearly presented inside the front cover so you'll know exactly where you're headed. Unlike many C++ tutorials, this book doesn't put you to sleep early on with object-oriented programming (OOP) theory. Instead, it quickly makes you productive with the basics of the C++ language and then reinforces your new knowledge with OOP as you move through the teaching program. The first week introduces you to the fundamentals: the anatomy of a C++ program, variables, expressions, functions, program flow, and the basics of classes. Week two introduces some of the more sophisticated elements of the language such as pointers, arrays, and function overloading in a clear and effective manner. The final week concludes your crash course with advanced topics: streams, advanced inheritance, the C++ pre-processor, templates, and error handling. One day is also devoted strictly to object-oriented analysis and design. Each chapter finishes with a daily summary, a Q&A section, a quiz, and a series of excellent coding exercises. This tutorial, which is designed to teach you to write industry standard ANSI C++ code, requires no previous programming expertise. If you want to get serious with C++ in a hurry, this book is an excellent way to go. |
