Enter the world of computer programming with this step-by-step guide to the C++ language! C++ is a great introduction to object-oriented programming, and this friendly guide covers everything you need to know and nothing you don’t. You’ll write your first program by the end of Chapter 1.
C++ For Dummies, 6th Edition, helps you understand C++ programming from the ground up. It’s full of examples to show you how things work, and it even explains “why”, so you understand how the pieces fit together. And the bonus CD includes a special code editor, an update GNU compiler, and all source code from the book to save you time.
- Learn programming lingo and what terms like object-oriented, compiler, and executable mean, so you can write a program right away
- See how to bundle sections of your code into modules that can be reused in different programs
- Work with features of object-oriented programming such as classes, constructors, and destructors
- Discover how the concept of inheritance is the key to effective C++ programming
- Work with assignment operators, stream I/O, and other more advanced concepts, once you’ve grasped the basics
You’ll discover ten ways to avoid adding bugs to your programs, what pointers are and how to use them, how to work with strings, and some advanced features new to C++. C++ For Dummies, 6th Edition gets you up and running with this popular object-oriented language.
Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

Free C++ For Dummies
I have a background in C, 68xxx assembly, and MS Visual Basic. This book takes a no-big-deal pedagogical approach to teaching one how to program in C++, which I find refreshing and interesting.
There are probably some minor mistakes here and there, e.g., the truth tables for AND/OR/Exclusive OR appear to be incomplete, missing a few lines of logical description. For the 6th edition of a book that's a little odd, but these are insignificant details for my needs, just adding to the overall charm of the text. (Note: the 5th edition C++ for Dummies is also good if you have some experience with Dev-C++. The 6th edition uses Code::Blocks along with some other freeware to create a C++ IDE with an up-to-date look and feel experience, but I prefer Dev-C++. The C++ code examples for the 5th and 6th editions are the same, so there's no real learning advantage to the Code::Blocks-based IDE/debugger, either it or Dev-C++ will help in mastering the text's coding examples).
Now the book's near total dispensement with pedagogical pretense would have honestly been far too much of a shock for me five years ago, but in my present state of mind (a bit more experienced in life, five years later on) it's exactly the style that works best. From constructors to destructors, from abstract classes to early/late binding (compile time/run-time) polymorphism, I learned it all here first. Thanks Mr. Davis! (Or should it be Dr. Davis?)
I also like
I researched a few books on C++ before decided on this one, particularly because of the many positive reviews. I haven't had a "Dummies" book before, but I knew that they were well liked and respected. I have not been disappointed. I am only about a third of the way through this so far, but it has been extremely helpful. The lessons are designed to get you up and running quickly. The author's tone is slightly entertaining; not as dry as you might expect in a programming guide.
I have not tried learning a programming language in this manner before. Usually I just know what I want to accomplish, and do whatever spot research I need to until I figure out how to do it. I see many advantages to actually going through the book in order, to gain a fuller understanding of the methods and processes involved.
Note: my background is somewhat lacking in programming. I learned FORTRAN77 many years ago; taught myself basic way before VB existed; and mostly did CAD-based programming using LISP. I have never used C, C+, C++, or any other variations before.
I bought this as an eBook. If you purchase the physical book, I understand it comes with a CD. The eBook I purchased comes instead with a download link to the same material. This consists of ALL the program examples in the book, so you don't have to type them out yourself if you choose not to. It also comes with a programming environment for C++ called CODEBLOCKS. This is freeware. It works well, with a built-in editor, project manager, console, and editing features to make programming easier. (Or you can use your favorite editor.)
My only MINOR complaint about this book is because it is an eBook. I am using it with an ereader app for Windows on my laptop, and I toggle between it and the editor.
