October 16, 2025Discontinued at p30 due to not being able to get into my email yesterday. It seems Goodreads might be, otherwise I wouldn't be able to comment here, but my email's been telling me my password is incorrect. I might resume this book after I get back in but possibly not. My problem could have been associated with installing one of the programs that this book mentions which might not have been debugged, but I don't think that's what it is, I am just airing suspicions at 7:30 in the morning.

Overall, I decided maybe I'll come back to it when I'm in a more computer science friendly mood.

A ton of fantastic information in this text. Unfortunately it is quite outdated now, and there is a plethora of spelling errors. It is also heavily reliant on the Code:Blocks IDE, which I found pretty strange considering Visual Studio is really the standard when it comes to C++.

This was an outstanding book for learning C++.
Although I already know C++ well, this book helped teach some interesting ideas and thoughts that helped me improve my existing applications.
Would recommend!
4.8/5

I just want to say, I read the one by Jeff Cogswell and found out how I suck at programming.

Ok. I bought this book at barns and Nobel because, from the shelf and summery it looked like this would be the perfect intro to c++. Well it's kind of bitter sweet to tell ya honestly.
This book does an awesome job at explaining the fundamentals of programming like variables, strings, entries, ect... And gives u a cd with code blocks so that u can practice the code it gives u. And it gives u ALOT of code.
Any way about half the book explains what c++ is and the things that make c++, C++ but the examples often leave u scratching your head. I mean don't get me wrong great book for coding, but I think things could have been explained better and better example could be given. When the book tries to explain more complex topics like classes u start to run across code that can go on for 5 pages(and it's really,really small print.) kind of hard to follow, I mean as a beginner. And I caint tell u how many times the book would be like, heres how u do this, but heres another way, and don't forget u can do it this way to, Ohh I forgot I can do it this way to. But the reason I didn't really give it 4 stars was that it kept withholding infOrmation about topics that it explains,, and doesn't inform u until later in the book. So if U want to look up something u have to flip though hundres of pages to find the topic from where the info should actually be(not really a good reference book if u ask me). Frustrating as hell. But overall a good refference programming book. Not intro

Good book, and it stayed true to my impressions turning out to be a 'good' read. The authors are well versed in C++, and do try to add life into a technical (or dry) subject. Very helpful book in understanding just how software interacts with computer hardware, but readable for the not so technically inclined. This is also a good book to have as a reference even if well versed in the language, given the volatility of human memory.
