Synopsis
Want to learn how to program in C++ immediately? Want to start writing better, more powerful C++ programs today? Accelerated C++'s uniquely modern approach will help you learn faster and more fluently than you ever believed possible. Based on the authors' intensive summer C++ courses at Stanford University, Accelerated C++ covers virtually every concept that most professional C++ programmers will ever use -- but it turns the "traditional" C++ curriculum upside down, starting with the high-level C++ data structures and algorithms that let you write robust programs immediately . Once you're getting results, Accelerated C++ takes you "under the hood," introducing complex language features such as memory management in context , and explaining exactly how and when to use them. From start to finish, the book concentrates on solving problems, rather than learning language and library features for their own sake. The result: You'll be writing real-world programs in no time -- and outstanding code faster than you ever imagined., Accelerated C++ introduces a radical new approach to teaching C++. It starts with the most useful concepts rather than the most primitive ones, so the student can begin writing programs immediately. It describes real problems and solutions, not just language features. And it includes the standard library from the start. The authors proved the effectiveness of this approach in their courses at Stanford and Princeton, where their students learned to write substantial programs their first day in the classroom., This is a first-rate introductory book that takes a practical approach to solving problems using C++. It covers a much wider scope of C++ programming than other introductory books Ive seen, and in a surprisingly compact format. - Dag Bruck, founding member of the ANSI/ISO C++ committee The authors present a clear, cogent introduction to C++ programming in a way that gets the student writing nontrivial programs immediately. - Stephen Clamage, Sun Microsystems, Inc., and chair of the ANSI C++ committee Anyone reading just this one book and working through the examples and exercises will have the same skills as many professional programmers. - Jeffrey D. Oldham, Stanford University Why is Accelerated C++ so effective? Because it: *Starts with the most useful concepts rather than the most primitive ones: You can begin writing programs immediately. *Describes real problems and solutions, not just language features: You see not only what each feature is, but also how to use it. * Covers the language and standard library together: You can use the library right from the start. The authors proved this approach in their professional-education course at Stanford University, where student

    • It's not too hard.

      If you have any trouble understanding the content just reread the book and the 2nd time it's much clearer. You can also look up anything online for more explanation if you're stuck. This book was written before the C++11, '14 updates so it won't cover any of that but is an excellent introduction to programming in C++ the correct way. Lots of people struggle to learn the language because of poor guidance early on. I disagree with some of the other reviews here. This is a great book by a noted author. Those "easier" books can teach you a lot of bad/poor coding habits.

    • Excellent book for your software mindset

      C++ wouldn’t be my choice for a first programming language but since ‘Uncle Bob’ recommends this book to this day, I had to buy and read a copy. Clear. Compelling. Intelligently organized.

    • Very Comprehensive

      This book is good for learning C++ ONLY if you have had prior experience in it. I found some concepts to be hard to read and understand. I liked this book mainly because it gets to the point, and explains the concepts in a very comprehensive way, however this eventualy became frustrating in some parts because their explaination wasn't enough for me to understand.
