C++ Programming in Easy Steps

I really like the in Easy Steps books and this one I've read at least twice maybe three times...? It's a great easy book to read if you are feeling 'rusty' with C++ or for an absolute noob! Well worth the quick read!

This is the book that started it all for me. I bought it a couple years back, and started my journey from basic to c++. It gave me all the fundamentals of what I needed, and put me in a perfect position to learn more with other books. However, if someone were to ask me. "If I could only get 1 coding book, would this be the one you reccomend?" My answer would have to be no, but it would be a great first buy if you could someday get more books. Its simply not enough all together. I still keep this book around, and use it as a refresher, or a small reference, so it will never become useless in my collection. Its a book I've used sinse the day I bought it.

This is a quick and easy to understand book for learning C++. And not too expensive either. It will give you the basic idea about C++. After that you will have to use other books for more advanced tools like templates.
