Prata is an amazing teacher. The world would be much better off with teachers like him. What I like best is he doesn't dumb down the content which makes the book flow. I also appreciate the fact this book isn't too technical which is helpful when you don't fully understand a topic at first. If you have entry level programming experience and want to advance by leaps and bounds THIS is the book. I thought C was an outdated language but after learning C ALL other languages just "click".I have 20 or so programming books most of which turned out to just be reference books but this book can easily be read cover to cover and is a must have for ANY serious programmer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Introductory C++ Source *by C***J on March 17, 2010* I have gone through a little over half of this book so far, and I feel I needto write a review based on a few things I have seen.1. The book is very well organized. It starts from absolute basics, and buildson everything from there. This makes going from chapter to chapter very easy.2. Some of the examples are very easy, and others are not. You do not want abook that does everything for you. You might get stuck for hours, but in the endyou will learn something, which leads me to...3. The downside of this book (actually I noticed that could be debatable), isthe number of typos in the examples of code. You can tell that the editors didcatch all the copy-paste mistakes as they were made quite a bit. But sometimes Isat for hours wondering why my code wouldn't compile only to realize he made atypo mistake. One of them I remember is when he had done a 'switch' statement,he left out the integer expression... and being a newbie, it takes awhile tocatch. And he confuses his pointer names A LOT, naming one *pt then switchingto *pn. The up-side to this is you will be fixing people's code in the real world,debugging, etc... so that's how I look at it. But frustrating nonetheless.4. Sometimes it isn't quite clear how he is explaining a certain point, butafter thinking about it a bit, it starts to make sense later, usually in examplesor when he explains other ways of doing it. For the most part, the explanationsare pretty good.Bottom-line, the standard hasn't changed too much since this edition so unlessyou want to fish out top-dollar for the 6th edition that is out now, this onewill do fine; I got mine new for $10 shipped.I actually started with Java as my first language and classes, objects, etcdidn't make too much sense until I studied them in C++ from this book... Irecommend studying C++ as a first language rather than Java like most schoolsand universities do as Java is a more higher level language than C++, meaningit has a little more abstraction level, however in theory Java is 'easier' to C++.Just that C++ answered all my problems I had with Java. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learning template syntax *by P***. on April 10, 2014* This book is excellently written. It is written very clear and to the point.The book is able to explain the extremely abstract conceptof class templates. Of all the books I own thatattempt to explain class templates, this book wasthe only one that was able to do so without loosing me. C++ classtemplates are, in my opinion, an extremely abstract concept that requiresa very skillful author to describe it adequately and accurately.Stephen Prata has succeeded in doing that! Thank you so much for successfullyteaching me this topic that was once very intimidating and foreign. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/150838928-c-primer-plus](https://www.desertcart.in/products/150838928-c-primer-plus) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
