Does any body have this book. I have this book. But i never really oppend it untill now. So just tell me a few pointesrs. And i love this site btw.

Sorry but have to be honest. Get a different and better book ;)

Like which book?

www.mindview.net
Thinking in C++ 2nd vol 1

Havbe to add this to my signature >_<

I have this book. The second edition though. I actually thought that it wasn't bad, except for the few typos and errors here and there. You'll want to read through two-thirds of the book, and work on improving from there, then slowly add the rest of the book in, since the topics there get extremely complicated.

Imp

vol 2 is doe to read after u read vol 1

Thanks for all your support guys. And i have 4th edition.

me 2

This books really good, got me going on Cpp. Although it only covers console applications. H3x

I using 'How to Program C++ for Deitel (4th Edition)' which is pretty good and teaches you in systematic procedure... I recommend it for new C++ learners...

I read HTML for dummies and it was helpful to me to learn the language, but I'm sure there are better books to teach HTML than this.

The first c++ book i read was "C++ Programming Fundamentals"
don't remeber the author but it is a good book for beginners

I have the 5th edition to this book and I think it's really good....(although I am only on Chapter 2) :unsure:

I got C For Dummies and it got so much padding... its insane, it wastes half your time making useless programs the same as the others one on the other pages.

Learn how to write a book for dummies!

DUH everyone knows books "X for dummies" or "Teach your self X in Y time"
are one of the worst books u can get
if you want i can give u a few good ones
Get on IRC we'll chat there

Is a book really necessary? I mean, a person can learn C++ just by reading and studying online tutorials/lessons.

it's possible but it would take dramaticly bigger amount of time then just by reading a good book

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that pretty much all of the tutorial one can find on the internet is crap, inaccurate, or both....

I guess you got point. Some of CProgramming.com's tutorials does seem a little inaccurate.

Exactly. I never read a book on programming until i was well into programming. I first started learning C++ at www.cplusplus.com. I also learned at lot of C++ from example codes and trial and error...

Are their tutorials well updated?

theyr a bit old ( using the onld style headers and no mention of namespaces )

You know what I said in my previous post. About "crap, inaccurate, or both....".

*Point at http://www.cplusplus.com/*

hey that is the book i lurnd a lot from it is vary good

much better then sams teach yourself C++ in ten mins that book sucked

which book?

Geez, in that case I need a book to update my brain. I keep missing C-Man on IRC...

c++ for dummy i dont care what any one says that was a vary good book

*cough *cough c++ for dummies is literally for dummies because it doesn't teach c++ well
trust me and please get another book :)

what you calling me <_<

im trying to say is that it doesnt teach you c++ well

thats because you don't know a definition of a good book

Get on irc i'll link you to a few

i first learn't C fron teach yourself C in 21 days. (yes C not C++) i later picked up C++ from anotehr book which i didn't understand. so i took a class at the local community colledge (it was ANSI not ISO) then i joined a hackers communtiy where i learn't more and later thic communty where i finally began to understand it. (then i wan't back to the hacker communty for a while to pick up asm)

ANSI C++ === ISO C++ (minus the front cover)

I've got this, I'm still a noobe but this has helped ALOT! I really like it!

Whats a good book for C++ .NET. is this covered on this forum. I really need help

Does anyone know a good book for C++ .NET. Im starting and i need help

are you starting C++ itself, or only the .Net microsoft part of it?

Use the orginial thread you posted to answer. Answer the questions I posed, and we'll be able to answer yours. :)

You shouldn't have gotten that book. I had it and I gave it to my friend for free. It taught me absolutely NOTHING. Just look up stuff on the internet. BTW my friend got pissed with it and trashed it

EDIT: Sorry for the double post. I got messed up by flood controll and accidently posted twice. Sorry

Obviously you did not learn much.
The value of brain is indeterminate (ie random).

This is not a amature language (like java) that will auto initialise your variables for you.
