Rating:  - The Complete C++ Traing Course
I would just like to say that I have been wanting to get into video game programming for a long time now and having ADHD it was hard for me to keep my focus. I have picked up book after book on game programming and have learned very little, most of which I didn't understand. I was told the best approach to getting into video game programming was to learn a language, preferably C++. Having gone through many C++ books in the past and learning very little I was interested in find a text book/school style approach to learning. I randomly met someone in a book store section of the programming books, and I asked him what he thought the best book on learning C++ would be. He recommended your C++ How to Program book. After looking over the book and the Complete Training Course, I decided to try the Complete version. I have now completed the first chapter and I just wanted to let you know that I have learned as much in this first chapter as I could have in a class room. If the rest of the book is anything like the first chapter I feel that I will be well underway to learning for the first time the C++ language. I just want to point out a few parts of the book that were extremely helpful to me: the speaking parts of the online book were a wonderful escape from the reading and helped reinforce what I read, the terminology at the end of the chapter forced me to go back through the text and learn the definitions of each term, the reviews were a very good way of ensuring that I understood what I read, and the exam was a great test to see how much actually sunk in. Thanks for the great book and I look forward to completing it.
Rating: - Amazing Book
I just purchased "The Complete C++ Training Course" yesterday and am truly amazed at the entire kit. I have been a Visual Basic programming for the past six years specializing in automation, PLC and microcontroller integeration and have been wanting to learn C++. I have probably purchased over 20 books on C++ and have learned very little.
Just over the past day and a half I have learned more from training kit, with "C++ How to Program (4th Edition)" included, than in the past two years. It is without a doubt that your book is the most comprehensive and best one on the market. I am looking forward to purchasing the book on VC++ 6 MFC.
THANK YOU!
Rating:  - Terribly written
The book suffers from bounce. Explanations are not local to where they are supposedly demonstrated, and the explanation is often unclear. Example: Chapter 10: Polymorphism. The chapter is supposed to be about polymorphism, but doesn't show examples until 16 pages into the chapter. And, those examples aren't very clear. If I hadn't bought this for a course, I would have brought it back to the store.

Rating: - This book is absolutely perfect
I am an experienced programmer that has mostly utilized interpreted languages (Perl, PHP, Ruby, Python). For a long time I have regretted not knowing a compiled language. This book is absolutely wonderful at helping me transition to C++ syntax and OOD. It explains the concepts in a very straightforward manner. The colored illustrations make readability easier than most books. I went to the book store to purchase another book because this one seemed expensive at first. After comparing the two, and the way content is presented, this book was the only choice. I am more impressed with this book than any other learning reference I have ever used!
This is THE book for familiarizing yourself with the complexities of C++.
Rating: - Awsome Book
This book is awsome... I don't understand why people don't like this book. It is so easy to understand. Everything is laid out perfect, so much information. Very good examples at the end of every chapter. This is the only book that really teahces you all the basics. I have read alot of c++ books and this book by far beats them all.
