Buy C++ All-in-One For Dummies, 4th Edition 4 by Mueller, John Paul (ISBN: 9781119601746) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Very useful and cost effective - Don't be put off by the 'for Dummies' brand. They are not... This is a good omnibus of 6 (I think) previously released books, that cover a wide range of topics for C++, from the classic 'hello world' to more advanced stuff. It's definitely a book to dip into as a reference, rather than read cover-to-cover, but the omnibus nature does mean that the main sections are somewhat self-contained (though do build upon the prior sections). As with most (all?) '.. for Dummies' publications, this is easy to read and has good examples throughout. Some might be put off by the less formal tone though. Review: Targeted inquiry to build a database in C++ and in OOP - * Physical This book is 892 pages of clear fonts with no coloured diagrams. * Target Audience A Level, H.N.D, Undergraduate, Graduate, Post Graduate, Masters? In my humble opinion, it's aimed from H.N.D to undergraduate level in Computer Science or Electronics and Computing. * Topics Book 1, Getting Started with C++, Book 2, Understanding Objects and Classes, Book 3, Understanding Functional Programming, Book 4, Fixing Problems, Book 5, Advanced Programming, Book 6, Reading and Writing files, Book 7, Advanced Standard Library Usage. * What are the best bits then? A tip here is to grasp OOP, and what it means in clear terms. Do this by visiting Youtube and searching for the '4 pillars of OOP'. These top 10 responses really help! I wanted to return to a task I tried to do but failed in my academic career. This is to learn how to build a simple database in C++, using OOP principles, to expand and contract the number of files, and store the ASCII data on a storage device. I had to know what to aim at as the book doesn't explicitly say how to build this. I needed to read and understand each principle and see where they fit together. The book started very simply, and I thought this isn't good. But it's not afraid to help the reader grow in understanding. It informed me there are even open source compilers, free to download! It took me 5 weeks to get my head around what these ideas and concepts mean and I believe I have cracked it. The book skillfully covers its remit and above this level and gets into library usage and stuff above what I require at the moment. But it's still very helpful. * Summary This is a beautifully written book that makes things easier to comprehend and easy to keep multiple concepts in my mind.

Great read but the new book looked used
It’s a really good book very detailed and great for a beginner. The only issue was mine was stated it was new but looked like it had been used before as there were dents and creases on the spine. Overall, a great read and it is helping me understand c++ better as I will be using the “JUCE” framework for audio software development. The packaging was fine so it must of been damaged before delivery. Very great book just a shame about the delivery.

This is a waste of money
Possibly the worst waste of money. The author is clearly very knowledgeable but has no idea how to organise his expertise into a coherent and accessible learning experience for an uninitiated reader. Do not buy. Its a slap-dash copy and paste job with no concept of the communication skills needed to make it even vaguely useful. Not much use as a reference book either as the index is organised even more poorly than the rest of the book.

A lot of content but many gaps
Generally not much use tbh. I'd have returned it if I could.
