Schaum's Outline of Fundamentals of Computing with C++

Rating:
Summary: Surprisingly Readable
Review: I am a 12 year old male who just happens to be interested in learning C/C++. Someone showed this book to me and highly recommended it. I have found that the text is simple to understand even to a novice starting for the first time, and that it is completely stuffed with useful examples. I am going to buy this book -- you just wait!

Summary: An OK guide for the beginner
Review: This is the C++ guide in the famous Schaum's outlines series. It teaches you the foundation's of C++ fairly well, as usual with a great load of examples and code snippets. We are used to this by Schaum.

What I am missing is in-depth information. How do I use make to compile bigger programs? How do I use the STL? How do I use glib?

This book will scratch the surface, and will probably be an ok guide for a novice. But if you want to take a step further after the first weeks of learning C++, you will have to look elsewhere.
