Review by Lazarus for C++ How to Program (7th Edition)

Unlike many C++ books, this seems to cover pretty much everything – from getting started through to the meat of C++ and also covering the Standard Template Library (STL). It is written in a somewhat didactic style with plenty of full examples, end of section summaries and tests (Q&A) to ensure the principles have hit home. Unlike many other C++ texts, it is clearly aimed at teaching from scratch, rather than ‘starting from C’.
The format is great – color is used for section and for syntax highlighting which aids reading and comprehension.
There are a number of ‘tips’ scattered throughout the text highlighting frequent misunderstandings and programming pitfalls. The title is justified; the book teaches the fundamentals of C++ AND also how to program – hopefully how to write a good, well structured, easily maintainable C++ program.
The appendices are available in pdf only – a shame the entire book isn’t also available that way also. I suspect the appendices were not included in the printed book to (understandably) save paper.
The one niggle with this is that it’s a sizable tome already and in order to keep it below ‘telephone book’ size, it is printed on very thin paper (thinner than that in my bible). The thin paper causes the reverse side to be visible and also means that care is required not to tear the pages.
In all, this is an excellent book for both learning and reference. Highly recommended.

I am a Computer Science Student. I have used many C++ programming books for my classes and for learning purpose. Although there are many books that will give you good introduction on most topics but will not have all details. These details might not be essential when you are taking a programming class. However if you are going to interview at Big Companies and your resume says you know C++, be prepared to get questions on topics that you might have not heard of. This is where this book comes in . Every topic is covered in detail including exceptions and STL. Reading the book is interesting as well. Its a great books for beginners and intermediate programmers who wants to know about the details of any topic in C++.

im taking a c++ class at a junior college to enhance my programming skills, and so far i like this book. it seems pretty reader friendly and came with a cd of the c++ program. its really nice that i could put it on my computer and be able to use it at my leisure, if not only for class assignments. the book is a bit pricey, but as a recent college graduate, Im used to it! i recommend this book!

The book is a clear introduction to basic programming. Very well written for the non-experienced programmer.
