I recomend the book "C++ Primer Plus Fourth Edition" by Stephen Prata if you want to learn C++. There are many examples in there and he explains things well.

Just have a quick question...if you do use C++ which one do you use? And which one does the book recrmend. I use Bloodshed Dev-C++.

naruto1327 · 07-12-2006, 07:48 AM

I use Bloodshed Dev-C++ because it has a nice User Interface and is easy to use. I don't know which one the book recommends though...

seems like a good book, but one question:
does it use the thingy "namespace"? becuase allt he books i have are from 1996 and 2001, and when i try somethign out, it doens't work, since it doesn't have namespace std

...so, im kinda stuck on what books to get to learn T.T

I don't really understand your question but if you're trying to ask if the book provides a subject on namespaces, it does. In fact it provides a whole CHAPTER about namespaces. It is chapter 9, "Memory Models and Namespaces". And trust me, once you start that book, learning from another source (For example a website) is NOT good. Finishing it is much more beneficial to you because some sources exlpain the information in a different order.

Do you happen to know the price of the book? or do you have a link with a preview of the book what it has to offer?

You could always search for it at your local library. Thats how I found the book. If you cant find it in a library then buy it.

$49.99 USA
$74.95 CANADA
(pounds)36.50 Net UK

Covers: C++
Category: Programming
User Level: Beginning

Theres also a big summary of the book on the back. I'll summarize the summary just for you ^^.

In "C++ Primer Plus" you'll find depth, breadth, and a variety of teaching techniques to enhance your learning:

Integrates dicussion of the basic C language with C++ features.
Provides comceptual guidance about when and why to use a feature.
Emphasized hands-on learning with brief, easily typed examples that develop your understanding a concept or two at a time.
Contains hundreds of sample programs.
Uses illustrations, Notes, Tips, and Real-World sidebars to organize and prioritize related concepts.
Provides review questions and programming exercises so you can test your understanding.
Practices generic C++ for greatest flexibility--it is not tied to any particular kind of computer, operating system, or compiler.
Reflects the ISO/ANSI standard, including discussions of templates, the Standard Template Library, the string class, exceptions, RTTI, and namespaces.

Trust me, its a great book.

If you can't afford it or you're just too lazy, find online tutorials.
