Thread: Any body read this book b4?

I know there is about millions of thread about books. And i have a quick look of them. And i also have a flick through all of them in the bookshop. Each look very very wordy at things.....

I search on amazon and found this book called

Learning to Program With C++ by John Smiley

Which is the best selling book in C++ programming catagories and also very high ratings.

I am wondering if any body here has read this book b4. And what do u think of it.

Are there any books that brings beginner all the way to a pro ........ or do you generally need more than one book??

OK........ i went on to the site and read a sample chapter............

I must say that it explain things in a easiest way to understand........

However........... i am not quite sure if i like this sort of convensation style of books.

Should dive into it or should i read another introductory book first?

I do know a little ( a least conceptial wise ) about C.

But i search on the internet many people suggest this is THE book, while some say it is not for beginners.....

As i matter of fact, i just don't know if i am really a beginner or not.
