Highlights

  • Laid down on the couch with the PDF, and I had to finally put it down around page 40 because it was well past 12am. For once a computer book didn't put me to sleep.
  • The Rook's Guide is where everyone should start, even for experienced programmers.
  • Provides explicit definitions of where and when or even what to do with any of the information, unlike other "beginner" level books that seem to miss the point that beginners don't have the lingo down.

Recommendation

The Rook's Guide to C++ is an awesome book that could easily be considered a "how-to" manual for programming, making it a great resource for beginners who are looking to learn C++ programming.
