C++ Demystified Review by Riccardo Audano
This is NOT a C++ book
This text gives a basic introduction to the "C part" of C++.
With this I mean variables, operator, cycles, pointers, functions.
But the most interesting ( and difficult ) part of C++ is its "object-orientedness", that is the usage of classes, objects, references, constructors, destructors, friend functions, and the syntactic tools like templates and operator overloading.
Of this most fascinating (and useful) part all you get in this book is a very basic introduction to the concept of a class, in the last chapter. Absolutely not recommended unless you have never programmed before and want to start getting your feet wet with a cheap book. But remember this book won't teach you C++.
For the real things I recommend "Absolute C++" by walter Savitch (notwithstanding the scary title is a very friendly text..)
or Professional C++ by N. Solter, or for one that s very good and very cheap, "C++, A beginner's guide" by Herbert Schildt.
