-----Regarding Sam's C++ in 21 Days----- I've said this so many times, I wish you could have signatures on these forums to save me the time. There are NO books out there that teach C++ that take longer than 30 days to read if you commit yourself to reading it every day. This book is titled "in 21 days" because there are 21 chapters and you are supposed to read 1 chapter per day. At the very beginning of the book it explains that you can't fully understand C++ in 21 days, or even 21 years, but it will give you a solid understanding of the fundamentals by the time you're done with it. I am on day 10 and I have a pretty solid understanding of classes, structures, pointers, references, functions, polymorphism, typedefs and I could go on for quite a while trust me. I really have no problem with people criticizing (constructively) any C++ learning material, but please don't judge a book by it's title. Furthermore, C++ Primer is 1,237 pages long while my book is 937 pages long - so it really isn't a huge difference. I plan on reading 2-3 more books after this to dive deeper into programming, but this books is doing a great job at teaching me the fundamentals. I can already code pretty big and dynamic programs with what I've learned from this book. Also helps that I have a preexisting knowledge of programming (though not large, it's something.) |
