A self help tutorial with which a programmer uses the book and an accompanying compiler suite to learn the C++ programming language. It isn't easy and it isn't for dummies. It takes time and dedication. If anyone could do it, there would be no demand for C++ programmers.You should already understand the fundamentals of computer programming. Then, with the accompanying downloadable Quincy C++ development environment, run the example programs in an integrated tutorial and learn with incremental lessons that build upon one another.
