Summary: Great teaching and reference book
Comment: I used C++ How to Program, 2ed, in my first 2 years at University and I found its explanations of the concepts and techniques excellent. I have Stroustrup's "bible" on C++, but I find it sometimes very dry and difficult to interpret. Deitel&Deitel has not disapointed me yet. I thoroughly recommend it, it is money well spent.

Summary: The best book for rookies
Comment: I am studing computer science and I was a little lost in my class. That was when I decided to buy this book and it has help me a lot. Its easy to understand and it have very good examples. This book guide you from the easiest codes to the more complicated. I really recomend this book for the rookies and all the people who want to learn to program. Buy it, you wont be sorry.

Summary: Excellent Book For C programmers to step up to OOP with C++!
Comment: Having used other C++ texts, the Deitels' C++ How To Program, 3/e, is the best I've seen and used (no, I haven't examined the 4/e). This book goes from the very basics to pretty advanced C++ OOP concepts and applications, and the authors do an excellent job presenting the material. A working knowledge of C is very useful, in my opinion and experience, depending on how in depth you want to know C++.

This book was recommended to me by a CS professor at a college where this book is used, including an advanced OOP course. This book was absolutely worth buying. More importantly to me, I ended up enjoying the C++ programming language after I switched to using this book.

The Deitels go out of their way to load this book with portability issues. There are so many ways to point pointers to pointers, e.g., and get a program to work on one computer yet crash on another. Portability is a very important issue, especially if you plan to program for a living!

Technical authors tend to excel at some subjects but not others. For this book, particularly if you're a
"self-starter/learner," I would recommend supplementing this with a C++ data structures book, or taking the time to print out header files and spending time studying "live code" from the links from the included disc.

The Deitels seem to know their strengths, and the C++ How To Program, 3rd edition, is the best C++ book I have or have seen. The "Cyber Classroom" is not a requirement, but it is a welcomed addition to my library.

For any C++ programming, whether or not you take C first, "The C Programming Language, 2nd edition," Kernighan/Ritchie, is a must for the libraries of all C and C++ programmers.

Nothing is perfect, but I've seen books go through multiple editions and still contain the same errors in them. I gave this book 5 stars because it's excellent. It's over 1,000 pages, contains a great deal of code, and I really appreciate that, although the book comes with an intro version of ms vc++, the book shows errors generated by the Borland C++ compiler, too. MASM 6.0 is the only ms s/w I ever liked, so they stopped making it, LOL! I use Borland's C++ Builder, so this is really an added bonus for me.
