Summary: Clarity - Simplicity - Brilliance
Comment: In general most college textbooks are average to mediocre, but this one should be the template or standard in how to write a brilliant textbook. If this is required by your instructor for a C++ course, you won't need the instructor. Lafore understands the 'divide and conquer' concept of teaching better than any author I have ever read. C++ is the Mt Everest of computer languages. Robert Lafore reduces it to a walk in the park. I highly recommend it!!!!

Summary: Best book For beginners
Comment: This book clearly explains about object oriented concepts & C++. The features of C++ have explained so well with greater detail. It creates interest to Learn C++. I read 4-5 books of C++ including The C++ Programming Language( Bjarne Stroustrup, Good for reference only).

Summary: A Brilliant Intro to C++
Comment: I learned C++ from one of Robert Lafore's earlier books and I must say that this tops even that book. I've read about 5 books on the C++ language now and I've skimmed through about 20 more. This book is by far and away my favorite. First of all, he introduces objects in chapter 1, and you are writing object code from day 1. Many other books teach objects as an afterthought and teach nothing about thinking and coding in OOP. This book makes the user think in OOP, and the examples lend themselves well to the paradigm to get the reader thinking on the right track.

The Discussions are lame and should just be dropped. The little quizes at the end of each section are priceless, very well written. The exercises are fun, and easy yet give you a bit of experience in syntax issues.

I taught an informal C++ programming class from this book and all of the students liked the book a lot. The last 3 chapters are rather technical and offer a nice introduction to the highly advanced features of C++, though the STL is covered as lightly as possible.

Of all the C++ books that I own, whenever I have to write code this is the one I carry with me as a reference. This is a GREAT place to start C++, and I recommend it highly.
