My mum buyed me this :) Seriously , its the best.

Good book.

Yes, that is a very good book.

awesome

this is the bible of C and C++

To all saying this is the best book - not at all. There was just no alternative back in those days. And nowadays this book is 1) overpriced 2) outdated and 3) intended for people who already have programming experience. Don't get me wrong - the book is not bad at all, just not the best one.

@light2yellow IMHO it actually is. It's expensive but worth. I tried to learn C++ with books that is 1200 pages big. Unnecessary. Many things are just described by cutting all bullshit. Pointers for example.

@vortexman100 agree, this depends on one's goals and amount of time and previous programming experience. If you ask me, C Primer Plus is the best book ever to introduce programming to a person, just uses C for this purpose. The actual code examples start to show around page 300 of about 1000. But if one finds the motivation and the patience to read through all these pages - 1) he is ready to write very good C code and use the book as a reference later, 2) he will probably find enough patience to read through Learning Python, Thinking in Java, Code Complete, Algorithms etc. This demonstrates from the very beginning that programming is not an easy and instant skill but a lot of hours of reading and trying out the written. And I think that every page matters in these books, the bigger the book is - the higher will be one's knowledge on this subject.

I got given this book at an internship to borrow, but ended up keeping it. A really good book, but wish I would have read sooner!

I got this book directly out of Adobe's HQ. For free, they wanted to throw it into the trash..

Maybe they were better off, if they kept it :)

Buyed... really

@Kushtrim Oh well, and i consider myself as a good english speaker...
