Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days

[staticextasy]

Hello Again,

Does anyone know of or have a downloadable PDF of Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days (http://newdata.box.sk/bx/c/)

I don't see any links to download from the site, and it would be very helpful, i like to do some reading on my breaks at work.

I usually throw them on my ipod touch or my cell as a PDF and read them when i can and come home and do the same thing.


*EDIT*


I ripped it all into PDF sorted by each week to its own pdf.

Download Here:C++In21Days.tar.gz (http://www.palacequadrant.net/downloads/C++in21Days.tar.gz)

There it is if anyone is interested in downloading it for themselves so they can put it on their cell or Ipod touch/iphone. Enjoy

I have read that web book and it is very good, however it is by no means a `complete guide to C++', which is implied by the name, more like a bigginers intro to the language. Personally I just used scrapbook(firefox addon) to dump a local copy.

A bit off topic, but I've used a lot of different C++ books in my time, and tutoring. I really liked C++ Programming in Easy Steps for a starting book. I know that's not exactly what this is about, but if you get down to having to buy something...

Thanks, i have considered buying books, back when i used windows i bought a visual basics book lol. didn't last to long with VB.

If you get a chance, take a look at C++ Primer Plus, by Stephen Prata. It's the only C++ book I've read that actually helped me learn C++. I'm not sure where all you can get an electronic version of it, especially legally. The last time I bought one, it had DRM crap in it that prevented me from putting it on all my computers, though :/

thanks for the suggestion. i will consider checking it out ;)

greatly appreciate it.

Interesting read.

indeed that is very interesting. however i do not plan to make that my only source. as with python i will actually read several of these documents to ensure i fully grasp the concepts not from just one source but multiple sources.

i do not expect to be a master at c++ that easily ;) that was just one read that i wanted to use.


thank you for that. it was interesting. its hard to teach myself so i kind of have to do lots of reading. i consider that to be a healthy learning experience too.

Hum... I've always felt that just using one guide is counterproductive. Use a "main guide" and then cover and complement your knowledge with other resources; it'll give you a more complete picture on the language.

what source would you consider a "main guide" then? im open to all suggestions

i try to adapt to all methods ive been given depending on the quality i think they are.

I'm not sure... Whatever tutorial/book you like at most should be your "main guide". What I tell you is a guideline that has helped me a lot when learning programming languages. There'll aways be a book you'll be more comfortable with, but that book may not be as complete as other resources in some topics... And also, considering other point of views is always a good thing.
