If you want to learn or simply review C++ from a book, this is the book for you. It is written to be easily understood and, like other books in the "dummies" series, its writing infuses a touch of humor at just the right intervals, making the reading easy and enjoyable.What can be a down-side to the instruction is not related to the book but is related to those of whom questions might be asked and from whom answers can be harmful to one's ego. So, if you are a beginner in the wonderful realm of computer programming, find a local teacher who can tutor you. Otherwise you will be stuck with the usual forums with the usual self-imagined gurus who seem to take pride in giving insulting answers to those who are genuinely interested in the learning process.C++ is a powerful language, and it can be fun to work with. Reading the text might be confusing if you are brand new to programming, but you can learn about and enjoy the programming process with a bit of patience and a quiet room where you can have an hour or so per session to yourself.Forget about contacting the author via email. If your experience is like mine, you will get no response. In thhis regard the book stands alone, and the student can get the feeling that he/she has intruded into a magical world populated by those who just don't want to be bothered; hence, forums. Better yet, find a teacher and use the book as a guide rather than a substitute for the classroom.It was fun for me to review the language preferred by so many as the chosen one, and it brought with it the memory of how confusing it was for me about forty-five years ago when I first undertook the study of computer programming, and how the journey that began with electromechanical relays and vacuum tube diodes led to what today is taken for granted.
