Rating: - Simply marvellous!
Being an IT student, having to learn C++ in just 4 to 5 months means you need to have a good book. My university suggests reading another great book (C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup) which is fine but C++ Primer is definitely the winner for me! It has material well spread over its 1000+ pages with good examples, guiding you and covering all possible logical holes. Previous C knowledge is not a perquisite so the book has some material which could be boring for a C master. Everyone else might as well find a good C review in it. Overall, I think it is for me, as good as K&R was for C... Thanks Mr Prata!

Rating: - Superb training tool and all-around guide
With this book, Stephen Prata has written an indispensable guide to the C++ programming language. Through its seventeen chapters, the author takes a reader from the most basic elements of C++ all the way to more advanced topics such as linked lists, function pointers, templates, and more.

The book is laid out so that it is easy to "start where you need to": if you are a newcomer to C++, start in Chapter 1. If your skills are more advanced, scan through the chapters to find where your knowledge is lacking or your confidence in your skills in that area is weak. (However, even the more advanced programmer may wish to at least do the programming exercises at the end of each chapter, as they do provide an excellent review).

One thing I found refreshing was Mr. Prata's style in writing. In a book this size on a topic of this nature, it would be easy for the material to be dry. Sadly, many programming books are exactly that and can make the study process tedious ... Read More

Rating: - best c++ book i've read, hands down.
I have read quite a few books on c++ but this one by far is the best i've read. I don't think it's possible for a better book to come out. Stephen Prata is an excellent teacher, and after reading this have a strong, very deep understand of the language. Great examples, code has been flawless, and even brings humor to the table. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Rating: - A good place to begin...
C++ Primer Plus is a very good manual with an easy language. It is recommended for a first approach to C++ and also for more experienced programmers.
There are a lot of illuminating examples and all the details are explained.
Not only the language, but also the philosophy of C++ is described in a very comprehensible way.
It is both a useful fellow when you are programming and an entertaining book.

Rating: - Excellent!
This book is great. This really breaks down C++ programming into easily manageable steps. It's better than any programming book that I have purchased in the past. Just like with anything that you want to learn you are going to have to spend some time with it. If you want to learn the basics and start coding today, then this book is for you!
