Summary: C++ How To Program 4edition In Portuguese
Comment: Hi,
I have just tried to learn C++ from many on line references and a few books and most of them fail to teach C++.
This is a text-book for a college C++ class and it is clearly aimed to teach you all the basics from Standard C++, not teach you the Win32 programming. Also, it is perfect for readers who want to learn C++ by them selves (like me). I admit that for a long time, learning C++ was a scary thought, but reading this book not also ended my fear like taught be C++.
Why does the authors start OOP explanations only after a few chapters? Well, first you need to understand the syntax. I knew C and Java, so the initial chapters simply gave me a good revision of the syntax and taught me a few more. The examples
are pretty good. The exercices are also presented in huge proportions, so readers can't complain about projects they could try to learn C++.
Pointers always scared me, now I know that it was due to writers who tried to make this subject a myth. And it is not.
Of course parts of the text might be redundant for some and new for others, so it is just a case of skipping a few lines.
My only complaint is that it does not cover MFC, but then I think the idea was to present the C++ standard, and the next the reader should choose which IDEs or Operation Systems to code.
And the price is really expensive.

Summary: Quite possibly the best C++ book ever written!
Comment: Quite possibly the absolute best C++ book ever!
The book covers everything from the very simplest concepts (starting off with the standard "Hello World"-type program that explains that statements must end with semicolons, the use of curly braces, that every program starts execution at the main function, and so on) up to topics such as templates, pure virtual functions, polymorphism via base class pointers to derived classes, structured exception handling, and more.
One of the best things about this book is that it EXPLICITLY teaches you good programming practices, all the way through. Some C++ books meant for beginners try to teach you the language and don't even bother to try to teach you how to write programs correctly. Not this book. Time after time they tell you the proper method of writing code, as well as explaining why it should be done that way.
Also, the authors practice what they teach (and preach). For example, chapter "X" explains how to create templates, then when chapter "Y" creates a generic data structure, like a stack or queue, the authors do so using templates. Some other books teach you something in one chapter and then seem to forget it even exists.
Also, at least the version I have, comes with a Visual C++ 6.0 compiler (its a learning edition or something, not the full version. But who would expect that anyway?).
It's a pretty hefty price compared to many other C++ books. But, not trying to sound too much like an "infomercial", this is probably the only text you will ever need for C++ programming. So you save money by buying this one text instead of buying two or three that each does only a part of what this book does.
Oh, let me clarify something. This book does a pretty comprehensive coverage of ANSI/ISO Standard C++, the subject of the book. It does not teach C++ .NET (but, the same authors do have another book for that!).
Finally, I ran across this book when tutoring someone in a college C++ programming course. So even university professors recognize the worth of the text.
Rating: 5
Summary: Outstanding resource for students and professors
Comment: This is by far the best introductory computer science book I have ever used. In addition to clear text and numerous code examples, the book comes with Visual Studio C++. Also, if you read the introduction, you'll find you can download the PowerPoint classroom presentations from the publsher's Web site. These presentations have a lot of notes in them that may help clarify the code examples further. Also, if a person has a specific question, they can contact the Deitels via email. Astoundingly, the Deitels will respond within a very short time. I've been amazed at all the "flames" directed toward this book; I've been in the software industry 23 years, and NO book is perfect, but this one comes darned close.
