The Second Edition of Gary Bronson's highly successful book takes a hands-on, applications approach to CS1. The book begins with procedural programming in C, and then gradually introduces object-oriented programming features and the C++ language syntax that enables first-time programmers to use them.
Very thankful for this reference
| Customer Rating: | After struggling with another C++ text I was lucky enough to come across this one. It's very easy to understand provided you didn't fail middle school English and have a decent knowledge of math.
Bronson has saved "average Joes" like myself from pain in programming by making an easy-to-understand volume of C++. Even though it is unlikely I'll ever write another program in any language after taking two programing classes, I do have this laying around just in case. |
Well-written, with excellent exercises
| Customer Rating: | | This book is very clear, well-organized, and easy to read. The author does an excellent job of explaining programming concepts instead of relying on diagrams to let us know what he's talking about. The sample code is easy to follow. Best of all, the exercises are carefully chosen so that they each represent a unique challenge. You will not get bored or lost in this book. My one complaint is that it doesn't say much about the String class or how to deal with string input (e.g. the common problem of the user entering more characters than you have room for). |
Informative Basic C++ book
| Customer Rating:  | | I would of never bought this book but it was for a class. Mainly focuses on C and then gets into C++. However my class never made it to the C++ portion where the author introduces OOP and classes. According to my professor, this is a two semester book. However, I learned quite a bit from this book and I already was familar with C and C++. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to learn C and C++. However this book is not going to be very helpful for Visual C++ topics but still a good overall starting book on C/C++. |
Excellent book for beginners
| Customer Rating: | | C++ is the most difficult programming language to learn, yet Bronson does an excellent job in introducing topics painlessly. This book progresses in a very smooth fashion from topic to topic, and if the reader works all exercises at the end of each section, the concepts will be firmly grasped. Be careful, though, because this book does have quite a few typos, but they are easy to spot since the understanding of the material makes them obvious. The only drawback can be that not all the exercises have answers in the back of the book. Other than that, I would highly recommend this book to someone that wants to understand C++ and get a general knowledge of it, bearing in mind that this book will not make you an expert. |
Great book for the beginner
| Customer Rating: | | This book is perfect for the beginning programming student. It emphasizes a lot on programming structure which will be very useful in the later computer courses. Everything is simplified so it's easy to follow. I own many C++ books but this is probably one of the few that I can't let go of no matter how many times I've read it. It's also a good book to use a reference on certain functions because it explains the functions in full details. |
