C++ from the Ground Up: Learn C++ from the Master

by Herbert Schildt

Itching to program in C++? Start here. Now you can become an accomplished C++ programmer even if you've never programmed a line of code in your life. In C++ From the Ground Up, Herbert Schildt, the world's leading C/C++ author, gives you all the essentials you need to get up and running with C++ quickly and easily. You begin by mastering the basics-control statement, operators, variables, expressions and data types. Scores of sample programs give you a crystal clear picture of how C++ programs work as you steadily build your expertise in all aspects of this high-powered programming language. Before you know it, you'll have a hands-on working knowledge of even the most advanced features, functions; pointers and references; classes and objects; function and operating overloading; constructors and destructors; templates; exception handling; inheritance; virtual functions; the C++ I/O system; the preprocessor; OOP principles; and much more!

[Mark Stattelman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book probably helped me more than any other in understanding the code and concepts of C++.
The book is basic, but very straightforward and instructive. If I remember correctly, this book helped me to fully understand how it all fit together. Especially, I remember finally getting a grip on understanding the basics of how functions work.

Книжка хорошая, только, конечно, для тех, кто будет осваивать в visual с++ останется огромное количество вопросов (даже если не лезть в формы).
На мой взгляд, у автора очень понятно объясняется работа с указателями. Обычно их объясняют так, что остается вопрос зачем они вообще нужны.
