## Description

desertcart.com: Beginning C++: 9781484200087: Horton, Ivor: Books

Review: Excellent book - I decided to do some WIN32 API programming and all of the old documentation and Petzold's book uses c source code so I thought a formal presentation would be the thing to do. This book gives a very good explanation of pointers using lots of small but complete programs. This book is much like a college text in that there are problems to solve at the end of each chapter. Horton makes you work but the writing is clear with appropriate detail. C is a small language but the syntax can be obscure so I appreciated the thorough and detailed treatment. Page layout and fonts are attractive and the source code is easy to follow. I plan to follow up with Horton's C++ book.
Review: A MUST for beginners! - I am starting out in programming (apps for Apple) and had ZERO knowledge of it before. I had bought some of the other Apress books and even though they were recommended as starter books they quickly lost me in a few chapters in. This book (though I'm only 1/4 the way in) has been a BREEZE!! Its breaking everything down, having me do starting sample programs and baby-stepping me to the hows and why of what I am doing! Its starts you off from square one and progresses you into the harder stuff at a perfect pace, making sure you know how and why each step of the way!
