Review title: NOT for beginners!
Product review: I recently decided to learn the C++ programming language and was having a difficult time as I have NO prior programming experience, except for the ancient BASIC language. I have to say that this is probably a good book for intermediate or advanced programmers, but definately not one that assumes no prior knowledge. I read about halfway (if that) through it and discovered I was almost falling asleep. The author uses words that almost make your headspin and you find yourself wondering what you just read. At first I thought it was just me, that I was ignorant or something, then I went and bought a few other C++ books and found that the language is NOT as difficult as he made it out to be in Teach Yourself C++. I'm not at all insulting the author, just stating that you need SOME knowledge in programming to understand his teaching point of view. It's like being taught spanish by someone that can't even speak english yet. HEED my warning, this is NOT for beginners!
