If you have absolutely no idea of C++, this is a great book to begin. Though it does not cover much (any) of OOPs, its a nice book to get you hands wet with. This book can easily be read over a couple of days. I strongly recommend Greg Perry's sequel to this book "Moving from C to C++" for a neat understanding of OOPs. I read these two books and was doing great in my C++ course. The nice thing about these two books is that it gives the reader a nice conceptual understanding of why C++ is doing many of the things that is does as against C.
The best c++ book I have read on the subject.

Out of all the souce books I have on C++, this book is without a doubt the most user friendly and comprehensive that I have found. I consider myself lucky to have come across it. Obviously, the author not only knows his subject, but also knows how to write for the reader. For once, a book that purports to be for beginners is written for the beginner. If you can get your hands on this book, do it. The book stops at OOP which is a very good place to change course and speed.
Simply the best book there is for learning C++

I've tried learning C++ from many books from various authors. Many started out well, and, by so doing, led me to a false belief that they would actually teach me the language. Each time, I came away frustrated. Perry's book is, however, the one and only exception I have thus far found. Not only does it start out well, it STAYS that way. It genuinely teaches you C++. I find myself actually looking forward to reading and studying from it. This is simply the best book written to date on C++. Now, if I could only get Perry to write one on Visual C++, I would really be in business!
Wanna learn C++...this is the book!!

This book is an excellent book for learning C++. It teaches you the fundamentals, and it will keep you coming back for more and more reading because you are learning something about the language. I highly recommend this book to anyone who doesn't know anything about C++. I can't believe I'm learning C++! Buy the book, you won't be sorry.
Excellent book for beginning C++ programmers.

This is an excellent book for absolute beginner C++ programmers who don't know C. In fact most of the book is the C language with C++ input, output statements and disk I/0 and a touch of object oriented C++ at the end of the book. Mr. Perry is an easy to understand writer and I recommend him highly. After studying this book I would recommend "Moving from C to C++" by Greg Perry.
