C++ Without Fear: A Beginner's Guide That Makes You Feel Smart

After reading this book, I can safely say this book represents a great companion to aid my learning journey in C++ programming language, even though it is slightly outdated.

Wanted something good I can go back to and use as a reference to help with issues where I get stuck, and needed something good to add to this section of the bookshelf.

i like it. Of course, it is a bit outdated, but a lot of it can still apply today in the current C++ video studio. (i am using video studio 2019) Been a few years since doing C++ so i bought this book to help bring back the basics.

Very informative and it reinforced everything my professor stated. Also provided alternative code to my professor's.

Great book for beginner C##'s like me. I had q basic and visual basic 6 experience and that's it so I found this book extremely helpful!

As a moderately experienced C and C++ programmer, I have been looking for a book to use as a reference and to extend my knowledge of C++ and this has done well. This has lots of examples and a lot of detail about many of the parts of programming (functions, loops, making decisions, etc etc). I have learned a lot from this book (and I read the Second Edition in a university library) as it explained why what I have been doing works and gives me alternatives. I learned how to use pointers better for instance. One criticism is that the book is NOT clear about a fundamental thing that programs do - write text to a file. It is covered on page 216 but it is not as clear as needed. I figured it out but the one example is not sufficient. My book has about 10 notes in pencil that I added to the three lines that show how to do this.

I’m taking classes in C++ currently and this book is a perfect companion for my studies. Thank you!

Outstanding book, but I sent it back, because page one gave me a headache, just trying to comprehend the syntax.

Calidad, gran material para impartir clase

Livro realmente ensina o básico da linguagem C++. É muito bem escrito, com explicações claras e completas, muitos exemplos práticos e bem explicados. Há, também, boa quantidade de exercícios que abordam os assuntos estudados de forma gradual. Para iniciantes em programação, ou para quem está vindo de outra linguagem. Recomendo a compra.

This book is a good introduction to C++ and it is easy to follow. Examples in the book are well explained and the author takes the reader through interesting examples with code snippets. However, there remain some miscellaneous errors through the book (as shown in the pictures) and you can see, a line of code says "supports time function" while the same line of code says "supports ctime function". The difference is "c". This seems to be insignificant but if minor errors can be fixed, this book will be an excellent tutorial for beginners.
