Reviews for C++ Programming in Easy Steps

1. Great Book

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, February 12nd, 2010

   with a little previous programming experience I was able to get my first C++ program working in a few hours. It is very clear on how to do the loops, if statements and varibles, offers a good start to the language and is nicely paced for learning.

2. Easy Steps

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, April 12th, 2009

   This series of books "...in Easy Steps" is great for anyone wishing to learn a programming language. This particular book serves as a very good introduction to C Programming, from the basic syntax, and good programming rules through variable types, up to great example codes and everything in between.
   
   From a scientific standpoint, I found there was a few things which I required which I couldn't find in the book, but then it claims to be a good introduction, not a thorough walk through, and does very well at it's introduction.
   
   The style of the book, which is easy on the eye, and uses the same layout and symbols through out definitely enables you to quickly find what you need when you are looking for example code, or things that are very useful to remember.
   
   Helped a great deal on my introductory programming in C course, and would highly recommend it.

3. Straight to the point

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, October 12nd, 2008

   I have read 2 "... in easy steps" books so far, starting with C++ programming in easy steps. Both titles have demonstrated the same brilliant qualities. They are easy to read and follow without compromise on relevance and quality of the content. I feel this is achieved nicely by the "straight to the point" approach of the author coupled with the relevant code examples. I was interested in finding out what differences there are between C and C++ and this book did a brilliant job of that as well as helping me get a good grip on the C specific syntax. I managed to cover the entrire book in 1 afternoon and evening. C is now no longer a mystery and i will now be looking to get a copy of K&R. I would definately recommend this book everytime to new C programmers and class it as essential reading.

4. A beginners paradise

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, April 12rd, 2008

   I loaned this book from my library when I first started learning C, without it I would have simply given up.
   It goes through all the basic steps, compiling your hello world program through to structures and the even the feared 'pointer' was a piece of cake. Trust me, this will be your first book to teach you the basics then you can go onto the more intermediate user books like 'The C programming Language' and become a true C master
   May the code be with you :)

5. Basic C Introduction

   Rated 4 out of 5 stars, April 12th, 2010

   The book is easy to follow and covers the basic concepts of the language. It includes a guide to pointers and structures as well as featuring example code throughout.
   
   As a graduate student the content is a little too introductory but serves as an excellent beginners guide for anyone wanting to learn C (and quickly).
