Product DescriptionIf you’ve thought of programmers as elite intelligentsia who possess expertise (and perhaps genes) the rest of us will never have, think again. C++ For Dummies, 5th Edition, debunks the myths, blasts the barriers, shares the secrets, and gets you started. In fact, by the end of Chapter 1, you’ll be able to create a C++ program. OK, it won’t be newest, flashiest video game, but it might be a practical, customized inventory control or record-keeping program.
Most people catch on faster when they actually DO something, so C++ For Dummies includes a CD-ROM that gives you all you need to start programming (except the guidance in the book, of course), including:
Dev-C, a full-featured, integrated C++ compiler and editor you install to get down to business
The source code for the programs in the book, including code for BUDGET, programs that demonstrate principles in the book
Documentation for the Standard Template Library
Online C++ help files
Written by Stephen Randy Davis, author of C++ Weekend Crash Course, C++ for Dummies, takes you through the programming process step-by-step. You’ll discover how to:
Generate an executable
Create source code, commenting it as you go and using consistent code indentation and naming conventions
Write declarations and name variables, and calculate expressions
Write and use a function, store sequences in arrays, and declare and use pointer variables
Understand classes and object-oriented programming
Work with constructors and destructors
Use inheritance to extend classes
Use stream I/O
Comment your code as you go, and use consistent code indentation and naming conventions
Automate programming with the Standard Template Library (STL)
C++ for Dummies 5th Edition is updated for the newest ANSI standard to make sure you’re up to code.
Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

Rating: - it was fine
this book was fine, but simply not good enough. as a beginning programmer i found this book tremendously useful as it introduced me to the basic functions of c++ and how to do normal programming. however the object oriented programming section was nothing short of a disaster. in the beginning he clearly explained every necessary lined of coding and in the object-oriented section he basically cut the explanations way too much. this book is a begginers guide and everything should be clearly explained, ...

--BUYER BEWARE! This book is a near replica of Mr. Davis' other book, "C++ Weekend Crash Course 2nd Ed." Don't do what I did and buy both of these hoping for a 1-2 punch into breaking into C++. When I say near replica, I mean word for word. Link Below.

This book was something I was sure I could delve into when I saw it. It was one of those promisingly titled "...For Dummies" books. I bought this and dug right in. I have no programming ... Read More
Rating: - Good Buy
Well written, fairly priced book that helped me get through a college class. I recommend it for any beginners doing C++ programming.
Rating: - Terrible book...
The explainations are just plain bad. When I stated reading this, I had a little experience with the Python programming language. I still had trouble reading this. Pay more and get a better text.
Rating: - wonderfull book teaches all concepts needed to learn c++
this book was a great book for learning c++ and a wonderfull refrence for experenced programers. also this book did not start off with the stupid "helo world" program. it was nice to start of with somthing a little more complex that would chaleng you a little more. the code in the book was writen perfectly. also unlike most programing books every single pice of code compiled. their was not a single pice of code that did'ent work. i would recomend thiss to anyone who whant's to learn C++
