There is not much to say about this book except it's pretty helpful. Not a page-turner but I managed to get through it mostly painlessly :D

[Matthew Sutton · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great introduction to C++

If you're looking for a good place to start with C++, you'll certainly find this book useful and very informative

[ERIC · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm halfway through this book at the moment and I find it pretty easy to understand, it's well thought and and the tests at the end of each topic are pitched at the right level. I also recommend https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... as I'm working through that also and it's really good!
Best advice I can give anyone learning to code is to get on IRC, try #cplusplus and ##c++
