C++ How to Program

by Paul J. Deitel, Harvey Deitel

For Introduction to Programming (CS1) and other more intermediate courses covering programming in C++. Also appropriate as a supplement for upper-level courses where the instructor uses a book as a reference for the C++ language.
This best-selling comprehensive text is aimed at readers with little or no programming experience. It teaches programming by presenting the concepts in the context of full working programs and takes an early-objects approach. The authors emphasize achieving program clarity through structured and object-oriented programming, software reuse and component-oriented software construction. The Eighth Edition encourages students to connect computers to the community, using the Internet to solve problems and make a difference in our world. All content has been carefully fine-tuned in response to a team of distinguished academic and industry reviewers.

همیشه حسرت می خوردم که چرا دوران کارشناسی این کتاب رو نخوندم، حالا بیش تر از قبل می گم دریغ!
بسیار خوب و جامع توضیح داده شده. به حدی که اگر آدم گاهی حوصله اش سر می ره. تمرین ها هم خیلی خوب بود هرچند که من فرصت حل کردنش رو نداشتم. به هر حال اگر دانشجو هستین یا تازه می خواین برنامه نویسی یاد بگیرید اون هم زبان سی پلاس پلاس، این کتاب رو اکیدا بهتون توصیه می کنم
توصیه ام اینه حتما کتاب زبان اصلی رو بخونید و نه ترجمه های موجود رو، حداقل مواردی که من دیدم، بیشتر باعث گنگی و سخت خوانی اش می شد.

One of the best programming books I've ever read! This book does way more than just teaching how to program, which otherwise would probably be the most boring thing to be reading about. I'd like to thank Paul J. Deitel and Harvey M. Deitel for making a book that has given me a life-long motivation to learn about computers. :) I have no words to describe how good you are at explaining the exquisite details of programming and computer science. That's how it should be! :D

This is a pretty good introductory C++ book. A lot of advanced concepts are left out, though.

[Baha]

Good as a reference.

My book in C++ class ^^
Simple, clear, worth in examples.
It contains smart tips and hints.

[Tolga]

I used this book to understand programming paradigm in the first year of my computer science education. It is really helpful for the beginner. It is not only helpful for beginner but also advanced programmer. This book published in my country "C/C++ How to program". It includes both programming language. It teachs you both of them. Especially if you struggle questions end of chapters, you will have a point of view for evolution from structural programming to object oriented programming.

The Deitel How to Program series of programming books are the worse textbooks ever. I taught computer programming and was puzzled why these books are even mentioned as possible text. They are disorganised and haphazard in introducing programming topics. There are no overview of how the programming constructs fit into the object-oriented concepts. The examples are unnecessarily complex and burden beginners with awful lots of details instead of getting them focused on mastering each concept. Everything sounds like a cookbook with simply "how to..." but no explanations of "why" or "when". The entire text is overwhelmingly verbose. These are the last books that you should ever use. Zero stars if this is possible.

[Kevin Herrera]

A good intro on standard C++, easy to read and learn. Has great insight on the programming practice and the examples and excercises show the true power of C++ and OOP. The only bad thing is that this is a really dated book and some chapters and standards have changed by now (2013), so interested people should buy the newest version

[Jim Neville]

This is a good reference book with only one major flaw. There are times the book instructs you to program against your better judgment. Only after you've wasted your time following a flawed path, does the book tell you "So that's why you can't do it that way." (more or less) That's not a very good method of teaching because it's hard to get it out of your head.

[The Decaffeinated Writer (Bethany)]

This is an awful book for beginning C++ programming. It starts off well enough, but once the student reaches chapter three, the book is worthless. The online video examples do nothing but summarize the book's text. I would not recommend this book to any serious beginning programming student.

[Ohud Saud]

It was the only book I read when I start learning C++ programming, I can't tell if there is better books out there.
But I loved it, it is written in a very easy language that takes you step-by-step through every aspect of C programming.
Enjoy!

[Damian]

Very comprehensive. Will definitely get you started and on the right track as a C++ programmer.
Some complicated topics could be dealt with more fully, including use of "const", pointers and references, and friend functions and classes, but on the whole, a very thorough and well-designed course.

[Eddie]

I really enjoyed working with C++. The book's well put together and covers all the basic to intermediate topics for getting started.

[Thomas 'afin']

Hahahaa..this book was my first programming book that I red. It was in my first grade of computer science in IPB.
It helped me much.

[Brian]

This series is great. For beginners as well as a reference.
I started with the fourth edition and have kept them all.

[Dachi]

it is really good book for begginers. it explains everything really well. you understend everything 100%, and also it gives some basic XHTML lessons too.

Java How to Program (6th Edition) (How to Program (Deitel)) by Harvey M. Deitel (2004)

[Dito]

This Book give me a complete view about C++ -- at least for me :) -- very useful and help me when I'm doing undergraduate final assignment.

[Flavio Perri]

Introductory C++ book with a lot of code examples.
Right for programming beginners and overviewers of basic C++.

[Farah Agha]

it's easy to read and have very good exercises, although exercises are lengthy. It has classes before functions which was weird
the chapter I like most is sorting, STL and Template.

[Mahesh Gupta]

first programming book ever read. really good would recommend people to go and read it and do the exercise.

[Darrell Ulm]

Pretty solid foundation of C++ here.

[Arslan Joiya]

i want to learn from this book about how to program about your desire software structuring.

[Anh Hoang]

c++ how to program aka tôi đã qua môn c++ như thế nào. Thực ra mình vẫn chưa đọc hết... Hơn 1000 trang với 22 chương chính cover khá đầy đủ các vấn đề cơ bản trong lập trình. Do đọc ăn liền để còn kịp thi finals nên mình toàn đọc wrap up cho nhanh, chỗ nào khó hiểu quá mới lội lên đọc lại từ khái niệm cho tới case study. Code viết tường minh dễ hiểu, có giải thích đi kèm tips với observations hay ho. Trong tương lai có thể sẽ đọc kĩ đọc hết nếu còn phải đụng đến c++ =))

[Laurel]

This was a book I used in the Computer Programner/Analyst program. This was an essential book but C++ is not a fun language. It taught me an incredible amount of structure and I understand orogramming more from learning this. I go back and peruse the book for memories and reminders now and again.

[Carlos Castro Brenes]

A good introduction to programming, it helped a lot to understand the basics.

[Nouman Hakim]

Nothing

[Mahmoud Naser]

it's good
