Fine way to learn c ( )

A decent programming book, D&D's How to Program C++ hits all the basic points of C++ and a good deal of programming in general. Where this book excels is its inclusion of basic UML and object oriented design concepts right from the beginning, instead of being a separate topic covered in another context. Where this book fails is in its in depth C++ content.

Keep in mind that I learned C++ from Stroustup's C++ Programming Language, so the bar has been set quite high. ( )

Dietel & Dietel are, hands-down, among the best writers for the technical professions. In addition to the nuts-and-bolts information, they also present real-world code applications, showing how built-in functions and subroutines can be properly utilized in real programming. ( )
