This is a very engaging programming book for people who are new to programming and want to learn C++. It basically places you in a first year intro to programming class with other students and then you go on a journey of learning the fundamentals like arrays, pointers, object oriented programming, classes, different sort of variables, the software dev cycle etc etc. Initially you will start off with a basic grading program that will calculate the grades you have entered, however as you go through the book this program will get bigger, you will edit it to include things you have learned.
The book is very clear, every line of code is explained along the way, you will never get lost.
Sadly, this book isn't perfect. The author is clearly a professor who actually teaches intro to cs, it feels like he condensed the entire semester and made it into a book. At times it is mundane as the students ask stupid and unnecessary questions.
However, the BIGGEST problem with this book is that it includes NO EXERCISES or QUESTIONS! You keep on learning new concepts but you can't solidify them because the book just doesn't have any exercises whatsoever! You learn something new and bang on to the next topic.
This book would be great if it were edited some more and included exercies for students to work through.
