Quick, practical guidance for a beginner choosing a C++ path.

A newcomer who starts with a chapter-driven beginner text then tries a fast-paced, example-first book often finds the jump too big. That pattern appears in this thread: tried a gentle textbook approach and then switched to a rapid book that didn’t match his learning style. As pointed out, comfort with the book matters, and as recommended, a layered approach—start gentle, then use a thorough reference—usually works best.

What to look for in a beginner-friendly resource:

  • clear, step-by-step explanations that introduce programming concepts before language quirks
  • many short examples that are meant to be typed and modified, not just read
  • exercises (with hints or answers) to force actual coding practice
  • straightforward instructions for compiling and running code on common systems
  • explicit coverage or notes about modern C++ idioms (post-C++11) or clear separation between core language and advanced features

A simple study workflow that produces results:

  • read one small section, type each example, then change it and re-run
  • do at least one exercise per chapter and build a tiny project (calculator, to-do list, simple parser)
  • compile early and often; learn to read compiler errors and use a debugger
  • keep a short personal cheat-sheet of syntax and commonly used library calls

If stuck, follow ’s practical tip: try every exercise, and when asking for help post a minimal reproducible example, the exact error text, and the compiler/OS used. Switching books is normal—what matters is steady hands-on practice and small projects that force learning by doing.

The best of anything is generally a subjective rating. Find a book you feel comfortable with and go for it. All of the books listed in the sticky note have their supporters and detractors. This generally means going to the book store and browsing throught the options. If you don't happen to live close to a book store, sometimes the online bookstores will let you do some browsing. You can always buy 2 or 3 books and pick and choose as you go through, or go throuh the one you like best and then go through the other one(s). I liked "Learn C++ in 21 Days", but it is far from a consensus favorite.

i don't know why but any thing that's called Learn XXX in XXX hours/days

c++ primer plus, c++ primer, Programming Principles and Practice Using C++,
Starting out c++ early ojbects, Thinking in c++ ( i think it's too hard for a newibe).

this is the books i know but i don't know if they are good or not for a newibe i want a thing that's learning from scratch

what is the best one of those that's i can start with or any other recommends ???

>> Thinking in c++ ( i think it's too hard for a newibe.

No just saying read that book with confident, that book is for newbies.
But don't forget to do the exercises after each chapter.If you stuck with something
just shoot your question if you can't find the answer in the google.

any recommendantion ???

Member Avatar for Kakashi Hatake

C++ primer 4th edition (By Stanley, Josie, Barbara)

That is one of the best. After you have read that you could read "The c++ programing language by Bjarne Stroustroup".

That should do it.
