I've gotten a few books on C++ and this so far is the absolute best for me. A bit of background about me. I have background in VB mainly and a little C++ years ago (forgot everything) so was looking for refreshers. My idea of a refresher though is to give it to me straight, right down to nuts and bolts. This book did it perfectly, treated me like a complete novice but bogged me down in enough examples that meant whenever I left a chapter, everything was crystal clear (a hugely important factor in learning code, the last thing you want is to skip over something and have it come back to bite you in the ass) Other books I had covered too much (which isn't bad) but can be overwhelming so I keep them as reference books but this is my go to book for starting on page 1 and moving all the way through. Pros for me are the examples. Plenty to choose from with good analysis of what is going on. Great examples too, really makes understanding the principles easy Cons I only had money to buy just one. I would recommend this book to beginners as everything is covered. But if you are like me and have a background in some coding and have been inactive for a while and are looking for a very basic refresher, then this is the perfect book for the job.
