Solve : Easy C++ Programming Book?

Answer»

I am looking for an easy to use C++ programming book, that will:

  • Keep my attention
  • Be very easy to learn (complete newbie to C language)
  • Have a good format
  • Isnt 1024 pages

The last book I got just suddenly jumped into coding, and I simply said "*censored*" in my mind, and put it down, and now its about to be returned to the Post office so it can be sent back.

(It was something like C++ Primere, version 3)
***WP: "It was like" shows lack of intelligence. Adding "something" shows that I still don't know, but its more professional. (Not that the work "like" should be used anyways)Jesse Liberty's "Learn C++ in 21 days" is pretty good. You don't have to actually learn in 21 days (I'm more using it as a reference, now), and the info isn't complete (NO info on vectors, tsk tsk), but it's designed for the newbie. Easy to read. I hae 5TH Edition, but the Second and maybe Third are available as free Ebooks. I'll give a link when I get the chance. (Currently de-virus-ing mother's laptop... ex-Norton subscriber...)How on earth did I know that you would be the first to respond, Dilbert?
(I was just GOING to PM you)

I will see if my library has it

I have no life, and you all know it. Also, I'm good at finding resources for things I'm learning myself. GAH! My library does not have it... (I will check the other library tomorrow)

Practical C programming / Steve Oualline.
^ Anyone HEARD of that one?^Or this one:
The complete idiot's guide to a career in computer programming / by Jesse Liberty.

I know C++ PURISTS will crucify me for using a "In XYZ days" book, but the info is good... Thanks, Dilbert

I will try to check it out a bit, and I will let you know what I think
