This book gives a very good explanation of pointers using lots of small but complete programs. This book is much like a college text in that there are problems to solve at the end of each chapter. Horton makes you work but the writing is clear with appropriate detail. C is a small language but the syntax can be obscure so I appreciated the thorough and detailed treatment. Page layout and fonts are attractive and the source code is easy to follow. I plan to follow up with Horton's C++ book. Review: A MUST for beginners! - I am starting out in programming (apps for Apple) and had ZERO knowledge of it before. I had bought some of the other Apress books and even though they were recommended as starter books they quickly lost me in a few chapters in. This book (though I'm only 1/4 the way in) has been a BREEZE!! Its breaking everything down, having me do starting sample programs and baby-stepping me to the hows and why of what I am doing! Its starts you off from square one and progresses you into the harder stuff at a perfect pace, making sure you know how and why each step of the way! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #382 in Software Programming Compilers #1,405 in C++ Programming Language #1,760 in Software Design & Engineering | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (19) | | Dimensions | 7.5 x 1.43 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 4th ed. | | ISBN-10 | 148420008X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1484200087 | | Item Weight | 2.45 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 594 pages | | Publication date | November 19, 2014 | | Publisher | Apress | ## Images ![Beginning C++ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Tawtusf5L.jpg) ![Beginning C++ - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/415CJqhrSRL.jpg) ![Beginning C++ - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YXJBWLjHL.jpg) ![Beginning C++ - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XYIFCVaGL.jpg) ![Beginning C++ - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710EW3XsYdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book *by W***N on January 7, 2008* I decided to do some WIN32 API programming and all of the old documentation and Petzold's book uses c source code so I thought a formal presentation would be the thing to do.
